Wow. I can’t believe it. I made it through my second 10 hour shift in a row. I didn’t take any Klonopin today before work and I didn’t have a single panic attack today. I wasn’t sweating profusely due to anxiety, I had mental clarity and confidence in my knowledge and abilities. I rewarded myself with some mozzarella sticks with dinner. I’m so happy and proud of myself I’m almost crying. I gotta make it through another 10 hour shift tomorrow but I’m confident I can do it. Today was just… a good day. Gives me hope that I’m turning a corner with this job

If you did it today, you can do it again. Just keep the brass ring in sight which is your paycheck. Good luck.

Yes thank you @77nick77 if I was actually working my full schedule I’d bring in just over $3k take home pay per month. I could pay down my credit cards, be able to afford the bike I want and generally have financial security. Something I haven’t had in ages. I’d be able to move into a bigger apartment

@Zoe what welfare help? I can’t survive on $800 a month to get SSI payments and that IF I even get approved. My rent alone is $1100-1200 every month and no I can’t move so yes I’m stuck working.
