So...
I love to dance and I mean I absolutely LOVE it! I just finished college and have been looking for jobs (not as a dancer), etc. I have struggled a lot with anxiety and depression in the past and I also have an eating disorder. I actually lost a job because of my struggles, but I want to dance! I am a perfectionist and an over achiever and I don't want to over-do it, but it's something I love to do and I want to take seriously. Right now I am not living somewhere that I am able to take classes, but I will be moving soon and there will be a place that I have taken classes before. I would like to continue to take classes (eventually 4 or 5 a week), but I do need to continue seeing a therapist and make sure that I don't overbook myself when I do get a job. Any advice? Right now I am going to do my New York City Ballet Workout DVDs and try and keep my strength up (especially in my ankles/legs and core). I am trying not to focus on the future and do too much planning, but it's hard!
