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 ---

You got this! This is a great time to practice anxiety coping skills so if you’re ever getting anxious about something you have tools to deal with it at your disposal. I’m so happy for you that you had 2 great days!!! ---

@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. ---
