I guess I can do that in a few hours, I have a Tim Hortons gift card.

Eat away!

Maybe you could cook me something!

If you have time to type this and are still anxious you're probably not doing it enough.

I'm at school studying right now, no way I'm going to do it in the computer lab! 

Apparently you still have at least one free hand. Do you want to get rid of your anxiety or not?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Ahh, vivster. Maybe if you finally get to your Spring avatar, we can have a deal!

You are in luck, I'm learing how to make croissants! You could be my guinea pig...

I've been scared to take meds, because my dad got injured, and got painkillers to help him. He ended up becoming addicted, moved on to other drugs, caused a rift between him and my mom which resulted in divorce and my moving to Canada, and ended with him killing himself because he was too depressed to live on.

That's pretty heavy stuff and I can see why you'd be wary. I know painkillers can have addiction issues, I think it's less common with medication for anxiety/depression but still possible.

As long as you just take your regular normal dose though I don't see how a probelm could arrise. Unlike painkillers anti-depressants aren't designed for rapid relief. They only really have an affect after being taken regularly over a period of time. But I'm not a doctor.
