Default Hey Hey Hey another Newbie....

This looks like a very cool board to discuss this SA junk. I've been meaning to do something about it for at least a yr. and maybe this is the first step. It's good to know you're not alone. I've been reading some of the stories on here and they sound exactly like my life.

The main reason I decided it's time to do something about this problem is my job. I'm at a point where I could be promoted, but it will require me to give presentations and speak to 20+ co-workers during weekly meetings. That spells disaster for me!!!!!! Well you know what I'm talking about. I've done a little research, and it sounds like Meds and therapy is the best way to conquer this problem. I am looking for a counselor which specializes in SA in the Central Texas area. I have not yet utilized the search feature on this board, but any input would be appreciated.

Oi, dear girl, we really have to do something about it.

Since you came here you realize there are huge lots of people like us. I never suspected that before. When I first came to SA site it opened my eyes. I mean, I always thought that I was so special (in a bad way), I was so alone in my problem, but that proved to be completely wrong.

Hey, I don't know for how long I'll hold the enthusiasm to fight with that stuff but we could cooperate with you. You see, I am alsmost absolutely lacking strong will. I need someone nagging at me, asking about my progress etc. if I ever want to do anything. What about you?

Me, a 22 y/o/ girl from Russia, Moscow. Yes, we do have that thing too, here, on the other side of the Earth.

Hi Franks n Beans,

I'm new here too, and I also live in the Central Texas area. I don't know of anyone who specializes in SA around here, but I'd also be interested in finding someone if you happen to find anything out.

Hey Franks N Beans, I bid you a belated welcome.
