I Actually Started To Miss Work! I started to become what's known in Psychology as "Agoraphobic".

But the horrible news had just arrived: I Had Passed The Virus Onto My Sweet Little Nephew! I had no idea what ....

Until I heard the painful news: Little Jimmy (my nephew) had just come down with an ugly, painful cold sore! Normally, this wouldn't been the biggest deal, but then a dreadful memory entered my mind: At the party I actually remembered that Jimmy had sneaken a sip out of my cranberry-vodka.

That's when things really started to get bad.

I tried all the best anti-viral prescriptions (which did provide some relief, but it was always just temporary) I tried various so-called 'miracle' herbs I even tried changing my entire diet (and saying goodbye to all my favorite foods) But Absolutely Nothing That I Tried Worked It was a nightmare.

The whole family was there, lots of relatives and little children, it seemed like everything went perfectly.

It was a horrible decision because I have 3 kids to take care of at home, and if I hadn't been with the company so long I would have surely lost my job.

Back then my mind was in a constant state of chaos.

Anxiety-ridden thoughts would hold my mind hostage throughout the day.

I had become so fixated, self-conscious and embarrassed about my constant cold sores that I ended up skipping work on over 47 days.

At the time I had forced myself to forget that it happened.

It was two days after New Years eve, and I had just hosted a large family get together at my house.

The Day I Will Never Forget.

I was always worrying about who might be looking at me, and my self esteem and confidence had hit rock-bottom.

At this point I had become so depressed and so ridiculously self-conscious that.

I went through each day in a constant state of self-consciousness and embarrassment.

As bad as everything else was, nothing come close to the day that I received the most embarrassing and painful phone call of my life.
