I recently turned 4o years old. I have social anxiety disorder along with general anxiety. I have been diagnosed with borderline agoraphobia. I try not to leave the comforts of my living quarters unless necessary or when I know it’s not going to be crowded when I need to grocery shop. I have had several occasions where I have nearly lost my life. I’ve even coded once, so I can honestly say that I have died at least once. Some of these things I can work on, some can’t be done. I also suffer from fibromyalgia and arthritis. I can blame the arthritis on the car accident.
Part of the agoraphobic issues come from a previous job. I was a 911 dispatcher on and off for 12 years. I will probably share stories from those glory days.
Did I also mention that I am a cancer survivor? Yup! Ovarian and cervical cancer. I must have nine lives. I'm a very lucky girl. This past year I made a bucket list of things I wanted to do.
I used to make fanvids, but after having to completely wipe my hard drive from my laptop, my Adobe Premiere won’t reinstall because of corrupt files and I can’t find my license key. I have managed to find some of my old fanvids, which now looking back on them, some aren't so great! I blame it on a learning curve!
Things I like:
- Photography (taking photos and looking at beautiful photos that make me wish I were at that place)
- Dogs (I have a Yorkshire Terrier named Chewbacca)
- Science Fiction (More Star Wars than Star Trek, but love JJ Abrams reboot of Star Trek)
- Crafting (I make pop culture magnets, menu planners and customized recipe cards that I sell on Etsy located here https://www.etsy.com/shop/OddsandEnds0978 )
- Tweeting (as I’ve recently started to do this on a regular basis)
- Being goofy to help relieve some of my anxiety (which usually leads to someone requesting me to lip sync them a song)
- Karaoke (while I do not drink very often, maybe once in a blue moon, if I sing at karaoke, I always have to have one drink of liquid courage to get me up on stage)
- Foo Fighters (desperately want to see them in concert)
- Movies, music, reading, Netflix, Hulu
- Cooking (I’ve won 5 Blue Ribbons)
So please, feel free to ask me questions on anything you want to know. It might help me with writer’s block.
-Jennifer

Hi and welcome, you finally made a right decision in joining steemit. I suggest you to follow the most notable member of this awsome community. They can guide you more than I can do. If you're not yet on my Group chat, inform me if you want. If there's something I can help you with, never hesitate to connect with me either way possible.
I am looking forward to see your best content here and wish that I could finally know more about the awsomest version of yourself.
Connect with the people around you. Maybe a local steemians out there or perhaps someone you meet on a bus. This way you will gain friendship and support both social and emotional.
Remember you are the only you. Be unique and find yourself different from others. Reward yourself by doing only what you love to do. Be creative, there is no easy money but there joy in hardship and hardness. Work smart not hard. Laverage your idea by reading other's content.
Gain trust by abstaining plagiarism. Copying is not a solution to your problems nor a way to achieve your dreams.
Remember that steemit really can support a living. We have seen evidence that there are people like us here who earn more than profissionals earned from their profission. Steemit pays for efforts, so seek for it.
Forget about money, just create content from the things that you love. Enjoy steeming and everything will be put into please. In short, everything will follow, the rewards, the recognition, and the acknowledgment.
Always think positive, never give up steeming. You may not get much in your first year but I'm sure and it is clear that 5 years from now you will reap good harvest if you don't give up. Remember steemit is a long term journey.
Happy steeming buddy. I hope that you will connect with me so that I can help you the best way I can.

Welcome! Steemit is where you want to be - you can meet lots of interesting people here without the trouble of actually going out to meet them. I took up concert going only when my children were old enough to enjoy the experience and it's something I totally recommend - by all means go see The Foo Fighters. Haven't seen them myself, but maybe someday... I guess it might be difficult to stand in a crowd, but once you get into the atmosphere, you can ignore the rest of the people - it would be just you and Dave Grohl...
Oh, about the writer's block - just write anything! That's what we all do :)

They were actually near me last week, but I was unable to attend. The last concert I went to was in 1992 and that is a very funny story as it was a Black Crowes concert. I will write about that soon, I just have to figure out how to word it! Thanks for the warm welcome!

Hey, you sound like me! I'm a cancer survivor twice, a glioblastoma and a malignant tumor on the roof of my mouth. I also prefer the comforts of home, I do my shopping in the middle of the night when the store is empty. I'm not agoraphobic, I just don't like being around people. Welcome to Steemit- it's great here, nobody even knows what you look like unless you want them to!

Hi! Nice to meet you! I also like doing my shopping late at night because it's less crowded. Congrats on the remission!
