I am a nineteen year old, soon to be twenty, college student in California. Excessive, uncontrollable, unpredictable blushing is the main symptom of my anxiety. This began when I was sixteen and continues to make most social situations unpleasant. I give myself a small pat on the back for staying in school despite the blushing inducing classroom environment. I'm also looking for a part time job which is difficult when there is little that I fear more than INTERVIEWS! I become almost panic-stricken before giving unprepared responses to an unknown interviewer who will be comparing me with other eligible hopefuls. I am unsure if, to the casual observer, my face is as red as it feels. I try hard like many of you to face these daily situations with whatever courage I have.
