I’ve been struggling with everyday things recently like going to stores, visiting friends, or just eating somewhere etc. I was terrified that I was getting eaten up by my anxiety and it felt like nothing was real.

It wasn’t until i realized that I might be scarred from how badly the beginning of the pandemic affected my anxiety. This time last year I was viciously wiping down my groceries and wearing 2 masks to work while also having a strict shower regimen. I also had my very first panic attack July of last year. 

It makes sense to have stress around the transition of being fully vaccinated and having some freedoms, I just feel really good that I had a moment of clarity surrounding this newfound feeling of anxiety.
