I have so many issues it is hard to list them all. First is my biggest issue. I have riding in car phobia, its when you ride in a car and freak out over feeling like you don't have control and are scared of wrecking. I was in a bad accident. I am always freaked out in a car especially when I am not driving that I can't even look up at the road. When I drive I am a little better but still freak out over nothing. I have thought about giving my license up but haven't yet because of my girls. I also have some obssesive compulsive disorders that make me feel like I need to pick my skin and bite my nails all the time. I constantly smell my fingers and yes i know it sounds weird but its the truth and i am desperate for help, for a normal life. I have a big issue with self-esteem. I am 24 years old and I should have a great self-esteem but I don't. I served 4 years in the Marine Corps and that life was awful for me and created some of the problems I have now. I was told by the Dr. at a Veterans clinic that I needed to get real for thinking the Marine Corps made me bite my nails so that just made me angry and not want to go there anymore of course. I know what he is saying but he doesn't understand the things I saw that made me the way I am today. I just wish there were people that could understand and relate to my same issues. Does anyone else experience these things?
