I'm 25 years old, born and raised in Kansas. I went to college in Florida and got a B.A. in psychology. I am a first-year graduate student in Counseling and Guidance, mental health emphasis. I work part-time as an eye care technician/front desk assistant at an eye doctor's office. I have GAD, panic disorder, and emetophobia, as well as bouts of depression and OCD. I've been in therapy and take Klonopin as needed. I am open about what I go through and will listen. I could use some friends who understand what it's like.
