Hi everyone!
I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but...
For some reason every year on, and around, my birthday I get very anxious. I really have no idea why, and it seems so silly. Well, tomorrow is my birthday and i have stared to freak out. Every year I feel anxious as it gets closer to my b-day, the past few years I have been so anxious that I have trouble eating my birthday dinner. Tonight I am very anxious. Maybe it's because tomorrow is a big birthday, the big 25. Half-way to fifty!
I had plans for myself and those plans have not quite worked out. I had always thought that by 25 I would be more settled and set. Here I am 25, still in college, working as a nanny (but I really love my job) and I was just diagnosed as anorexic and having an anxiety disorder. I am working hard to catch up in school and looking for real jobs, and so far i'm doing ok, but sometimes it can be hard. I will also lose my good insurance that i had though my dad at midnight tonight. This also means losing my therapist for at least a while as I can't find insurance I can afford that covers mental health specialists.
Well, that's my story, or at least parts of it. Sorry for rambling. I guess I just have to try to focus on the PRESENTS! Thanks for listening.

Happy birthday ( a little late) and don't worry too much about being 25. (I wish I was 25)

Good at being in college, good at enjoying your job, and good at working on those personal issues.

If you ask me, you are doing good for being 25!

Kate,
Losing insurance sucks. I just graduated from college in May and have no insurance at the moment. It can be very stressful especially when you have to terminate with a therapist because of it.
Going through this has made me realize that every person in this country should beable to get some form of health insurance. There is no reason why this is the suppose to be the richest country in the world and not every person can be protected.

Stay strong,
Jessica
