Where do I even begin? Guess the best place to start would be the diagnosis. This post is really for my family and friends that matter back in the states. Recently, Ive been diagnosed with severe panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Now, panic attacks is bad enough on its on, but Im lucky enough to be one of the 5-10% of the people that has the crippling side effect called depersonalization. One of the big stigmas that go with this is the person has a weak mind. Thats far from correct. Its not something that can really be controlled. Just as one can be diagnosed with cancer or diabetes, one can also be diagnosed with anxiety. Everyone who knows me knows that Im a pretty edgy guy, and tend to be overly empathetic. On top of this, I moved to a foreign country where I dont know anyone, cant speak the language, began a new career, and still am a full time student. Admittedly, I put a lot of pressure on myself and it may be part of the reason I started having these attacks again. Anyways, the main reason for this is to tell those who knows whats been going on that Im fine now. But, I dont know when Ill come back to America. My plan is to leave Taiwan in a year and go to Japan. I think I want to travel to a few different countries in Asia during my vacation, also. Malaysia, Indonesia, and Korea sound like some ideal places to go. Sometimes life gets a little hard and throws some curve balls at ya. But I promise that anyone can get through anything as long as you try hard enough. If anyone has anxiety problems or panic attacks and wants to chat, send me a message. Ill be more than happy to talk with you. If youre on my friends list, then its because I care about you. As far as my friends back home go, Ill see you when I see you! Love you guys.
