Hi everyone,
I'm usually on the health anxiety board because most of the time that is what plagues me, but I do have my issues with general anxiety and depression. Its been a hellish past 2 years. . After so many personal struggles that really tested my mentality and morality, I can finally say that I can see a light. Ive been struggling to find a job right out of college, am a single parent, and have just been overall super anxious and depressed for a good while now. Well about a month ago, everything took a turn for the right. And when I say turn, I mean head jerking, tires screeching, hold on for your life type of turn. I managed to get an interview at the place that Ive been applying for since I got my degree (applied for about 200 jobs before this interview
). Long story short....I got the job! literally the day after the interview. It pays well, its exactly what I wanted. Great location. Just. Perfect.
I closed in on an apartment about a week ago in the exact area that I wanted. I can finally be able to afford the things that I want without having to ask for help. All is good. But as I'm starting to learn, anxiety and depression just don't disappear overnight. All of this happened SO FAST. After struggling for such awhile it seems almost like......its too good to be true? I don't know..I still feel like I'm in this dream. I am so thankful that this is happening after wanting it for so long. And I thank God. I guess now its just my mind is so used to being hijacked.
The anxiety is still there. I can feel it trying to claw its way in. Why don't our minds just let us be happy?
OK I guess my little spill sesh is over. Just wanted to know if anyone else had experience with this.
PS I am grateful for all of this. Don't want to sound or come across as an insensitive ungrateful tw*t.
