I’m a 24M and last week was a tough battle with my anxiety. Bouts of worry and crying and feeling out of control. I attempted to go out and trade in my car but for some reason, just did not have a good gut feeling about the deal and I got incredibly anxious but was able to calm myself and remind myself that I’m in control. Also, after seeing my doctor and upping my Zoloft dose, I seem to be regulating again back to a balanced person. Now today, I went out in search for a different vehicle and leased a new car for the first time by myself at a GREAT deal! I’m so proud of myself because I wasn’t riddled with anxiety and nerves, I felt like I was in control and had confidence and I was able to accomplish this challenging decision / process with ease and feel how rewarding it is. 

I’m using this as a space to share a victory but also hope others find comfort in knowing that you can have a really shitty day / week but then the next day / week could be one of the best ones you’ve had in a long time. Keep going :)
