I've been miserable working it for the past 5 years but my anxiety has always made me feel trapped. Countless nights I'd hide and just cry away from the rest of my coworkers. Lately my anxiety has become much worse and I had a full blown panic attack a few days ago and ended up calling 911. Thought I was dying. Maybe the most scared I've ever been in my life.

Decided to put my mental health first for once. I have a decent amount of money saved up but no health insurance so the thought of not having a job terrifies me because one medical emergency and there goes my savings. At the same time I feel hope that I can overcome this anxiety that has controlled me for the past 5-6 years of my life. I even took the first step and have an appointment with a therapist next week.

I've always kept my mental health to myself. So just wanted to type this out as a way to get it off my chest. Whoever reads it thank you, and I hope you get through whatever battles you're fighting.
