Today.. well, no. I suppose at  this point in the morning that "Yesterday" would be a more truthful term. So we will go with that and I will start over.

Yesterday was my first "rock" concert. As in... ever. It was a day of bands which ended in Cake and The KillersAt first I was worried that my anxiety would kick in and ruin it. Between the fact it

Anxiety sucks!! yay for riding the wave, and making it through *hugs* i wouldn't have been able to do it.

It does, indeed. It was a rather curious thing though. The fact that my body maintained its anxiety even though my mind (from what I could tell) was seemingly at ease. I don't think they make a pill for autonomous responses like that. :/

I take celexa, but I still wouldn't be able to do it. I'm a fainter. All the people and noise level would do me in.

that's the same thing i take. it doesnt completely work though. i still have anxiety on a daily basis. the medication is just useful to get me to where i am ok with leaving the house. its useless for everything else

For yay! You should be proud! Fighting anxiety in an event like that is no easy task. ESP if it's your first rock concert. Major kudos to you. And *hugs too.

I love the Killers. Did you enjoy them?

~hugs~ I am quite proud. Especially since the last concert I paid to get into, I went into full panic mode and blacked out right after the opening act left the stage. All I remember was feeling like I did in this entry and people helping me get out while the guy at the door was yelling at me saying that once I left, I couldn't go back in. My date was so mad at me... :(

Their show was awesome. I loved seeing them live. It was one of the best times of my life, I think. :)
