Nine months ago I had a mental breakdown where I ended up in the ER. After that I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. I was in such a bad place I wasn’t eating, especially not around other people or in public places as I would immediately start to panic and feel nauseous, even getting physically ill. I could barely even handle social settings at all without having a panic attack. 

Today I ate at a restaurant during a work lunch while sitting next to my boss’s boss. I even gave him and one of the other managers a ride to the restaurant. All of these things trigger my anxiety but I effing did it!!!!!!! Without rescue meds even! So I’m taking this moment to celebrate this little win❤️
