[quote=Anonymous]OP, You are smart to not take medication. I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder in addition to various other things. I was taking 8 pills a day at one point, seeing a psychotherapist and I wasn't even out of my twenties! It was taking a toll on my body, my mind and my health. I could not imagine a lifetime of pill-popping. Finally, I decided to try a more holistic approach by eating right, exercising and doing activities with more intrinsic value to nourish myself. Of course my doctors did not approve at all. They told me I would need medication and therapy sessions to keep my symptoms under control. I've been off medication for five years and have never felt better. I honestly wouldn't disclose much about your anxiety disorder at an interview. It might close the door to an awesome opportunity. Your job as a nanny is to your charges, provided you are following the parents orders. You can keep a detailed log of what you do with your charges, or write the parents special anecdotes about the day. They will love it and it will keep your anxiety at bay. [/quote]
