Im not sure if this is where I should post this, but I feel amazing right now and wanted to share! 

I have an upcoming appointment for an immunization. Its hard for me to rationalize my thoughts and feelings sometimes, and although I logically know that I shouldn't be afraid to get a shot since I've gotten dozens in my life, apparently my anxiety doesn't like to remember that. So for the past few days I've been quietly anxious about it. 

Until today, when my boyfriend was over and I was showing clear signs of being stressed out. He asked what was going on and I told him about my appointment and how I've been very anxious for a few days about it. He immediately went to holding me, walking me through how the appointment will go (although I already know how it will go, he knows it helps me to hear step by step so I'm prepared), reassuring me many times that it will be okay and that I've done this many times, and that I can call or text him anytime I need him.

I've obviously still been anxious about it since then, but it got a lot easier to think logically about the situation and realize while I'm allowed to be anxious, it will be fast and I will be okay. I feel 100 times less stressed than I did this morning, I was actually able to eat a full dinner. 

I find it so crazy that I have this person in my life that knows exactly what to do to help me think things through and calm me down. Anxiety sucks like crazy, but I'm so lucky to have someone beside me that will help me anytime I need it.
