A well-written introspective that I could easily have authored. I would love to tell you that somewhere down the road, the anxieties go away. They don't. But, you are cultivating your own erudition - you "simply" create your own awareness and ensuing ways to cope. Throughout my 40 years in radio, I've been sustaining two people: the one that entertained others and the one that endures sleep deprivation and severe anxieties until the next air shift. The spirit I must generate to do my job, is my therapy. You will survive and you will find ways to persevere... I've observed you doing it since you were 12 years of age. Write if you ever want to commiserate with a fellow communicator. Peace, brother.
