I'm new and joining you all from Hong Kong. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression during my second year of college two years ago, and though I have since recovered from the depression (and somehow managed to graduate with decent grades last summer), I find myself still struggling with anxiety issues. It's frustrating having to deal with them at work (I get extra nervous whenever there is 'office drama', even if it doesn't involve me at all), and now that I have decided to apply to graduate school, I worry that the anxiety will finally escalate again. Just thinking about the GRE exam I am taking tomorrow stresses me out more than anything. My attention levels get significantly worse when I'm anxious or stressed, and it definitely does not help that a doctor recently suggested I may have ADD. By signing up here, I'm hoping this site could act as a platform for talking to those who understand my situation, and thereby keep myself in check. Thanks for reading, and see you around!
