Up until a few years ago, I suffered terrible anxiety every time I had to pick up a telephone.  I couldn't phone anyone unless I knew them very well, including things like restaurant takeout or information services without freezing up and often hanging up the phone as soon as someone answered.

Okay that's funny in a sad anxiety kind of way.

I am a Dr WHO TRAGIC...a Whovian, if you will...anyone who repeats this will be E X T E R M I N A T E D.



To be a Class A zombie on The Walking Dead is on my bucket list (Class A's actually perform in a scene..Class B's are just crowds and backfillers).



I love cheesecake.



I always wanted to be a racing driver.



I am an animal lover.



I love art, but can't draw a straight line with a pencil and ruler, and I love music, and can't play a tambourine.



My ancestry is Polish. My true family name is Radzwiecz. It is not an uncommon name, and many Poles who migrated to the US changed it to a similar sounding surname, Richards.



I like bags!!!



I only wear expensive suits...I cant stand cheap clothes.

I confess SPECTRE that I have no interest in replying in threads about the asylum so it's not personal, eh. Good.

I used to have moderately debilitating anxiety.  I was terrified of telephones, on occasion, I would have to run from crowded places due to an attack, public speaking was much like an execution, etc.  I was also extremely shy.  On the positive side, smashing those issues is one of my proudest achievements.  Through a combination of training, planning, luck, the girl in the red dress, and determination, I overcame them.  At 24 I couldn't touch a phone receiver without breaking out in a cold sweat.  By 34, I became vice president of business development of an internationally recognized firm, use a phone regularly (though I still dislike it), and regularly make presentations in front of hundreds of people (almost) without issue.

I was much the same way.  High anxiety that was overcome through necessity and duty.  I can public speak my ass off now and actually get invited to facilitate events :)
