2 years ago I had a breakdown, was hospitalized, lost my job, and spent the next year and a half spiralling in a haze of alcohol, anxiety, and depression, rarely leaving my house. About 6 months ago I started spending more time out of bed, taking better care of myself and drinking a lot less. I've been to 4 job interviews in the past month, and today I finally got offered a job. I'm going back to work! A year ago I couldn't even have gone to a job interview, now I'm actually going to be working again!

I know it's not a big deal, I'm just feeling really proud of myself and wanted to tell someone.  It's just a waitressing job, nothing fancy, but I'm happy.
