Best to you on your new job!
I started my new job just after starting Lexapro and it has helped so much with the anxiety as well as depression. I haven't even Sied since I started (26 days now). I know that there were tons of triggers I would normally run out of the room from (working in a middle school, doing lunch duty, having angry boys storm past me and throwing things) and I have gotten through. I can tell the panic is there, but it is totally managable. Don't know if that info helps.

Have you tried scar cream? I've seen some in drug stores.
best to you!! Kiya
