I have an appointment with a therapist in mid-April. Yeah, it's been getting to me. I've been feeling intense anxiety, especially at work. Pressure on my chest, the desire to run.

Time passes so quickly when I'm not at work and it's now causing my performance to suffer. I don't know when or why I developed an anxiety disorder, but it's really unpleasant.


Anxiety does suck, you should try and get that appointment moved up. If your still at a university they should have the health service for free or a drastically reduced price.

If I could write you a prescription for lorazepam, I would.

Trump has received 2 billion dollars in free media coverage, almost 3x as much as hillary





Once again, the media is telling you who to elect and the monkeys obey, as predicted.

God, I would kill for my old University job. Those were the days. But yeah, I graduated in 2014 the second time so no such luck.

Now I apply for similar part time library work, downgrade from my current full-time job, and I'm not even considered for an interview.

But yeah, April 15th is the earliest I could get.

You're wrong, the media is attacking him and it's working against them.

That must be why they are charging 40x as much as last cycle for a commercial during those Trump infomercials - err I mean the debates.

I think its called - Marketing, or some other kind of fancy pants word.

People are spending a lot of money to run ads and attacks against Trump.

There's also the fact that negative publicity against Trump generates revenue for media.

If the other candidates were as exciting as him maybe they could have a similar setup.

My sympathy. I've suffered horrifically due to anxiety. Pretty much destroyed my life. It does get better though. When I was having my worst times I couldn't concentrate on anything. Felt like I was losing my mind. If I could be cured by having someone saw off my leg with a butterknife and no anaesthetic I would do it in a heartbeat.

But long story short I dealt with the worst times by just curling up in bed and trying to concentrate on listening to audiobooks. When I was too bad to even concentrate on that I would just repeat to myself 'this too shall pass' or that Buddhist chant. Nam myoho renge Kyo. I dunno why that helped it was just calming I guess.

You'll get better. Best of luck to you. Severe anxiety is awful. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Do you think a 30 second ad is anywhere comparable to 12 minutes of network coverage?

Do you think the media is so stupid in choosing what they cover that they would forget all other bits of news to break away to a Donald Trump conference where he is rumoured to be speaking in 5 minutes, so they just show a blank curtain and talk about him till he makes an appearance ? And you think that's "attacking" him? If they were really attacking him- they would talk about anything else.

so true, but network tv is also making record profits talking about him, I just saw an interview with Les Moonves (owner of CBS) and he talked about how he is raking it in, reality tv + network news = golden gossip for the masses
