Stigma is still a reality for many people. I've talked to Jennifer Fisk in the past about how she overcame the stigma she felt about her rampant anxiety, both with friends and work colleagues. Jennifer thought she had conquered stigma until she moved to new job and it started all over again. It was her dream job and Jennifer went back to hiding her anxiety because she thought poeple would think she couldn't do the job. It was bad enough that she believed she was in over her head. Now she had to start finding ways to avoid anxious situations...and that just made her more anxious.

Emergency room nurses were facing a new enslaught of sick children, some seriously, with a resperatory illness. Nurse Eram Chogala says it's distressing for nurses to see young children struggling to breathe. Wait times can be long and she wants parents know that nurses are commited to getting their kids treatment as fast as they can.
