I’ve been dealing with anxiety for as long as I can remember but officially got diagnosed this year (GAD &amp; panic disorder). 

At some point last year, my panic/anxiety attacks got increasingly worse and more frequent, which led me to finally take the step towards therapy. 

Since I noticed my anxiety often peaks when I feel the need to accomplish something (university/work/internships), I decided to make what arguably felt like the most difficult decision of my (university) career and quit my current masters degree in Finance. In short, the fact that I had to give up something that I had really set my mind to makes me feel useless, empty and mostly, a failure. 

Now that I quit, I’m still dealing with a lot of guilt (towards doing ‘nothing’ instead of finding a job), I still get anxious about other factors in my life, but I’m working on it and that should count for something right? 

There’s not really a point to my story here, I guess just wanted to share where I’m at in my journey, in case anyone felt alone in their guilt or feelings of unproductivity.
