woke up in a cold sweat this morning because I had to make an important business call this afternoon. spent about an hour using my coping mechanisms to talk myself out of it, but eventually had to take my valium

just finished the call, it went extremely well. not only did I make the sale, but there was like 40 minutes of rapport building.

is this what normal people feel like all the time?

Dude I am right there with you today even though my thing hasn’t happened yet. Anxiety medication is a gift from heaven.

Update: my thing went similarly. They weren’t mean and were quite helpful.

Still, overwhelming day. I had to have 3 in person social interactions and I am recovering.

I literally just got prescriptions for generalized anxiety and depression yesterday. I can’t wait for them to start working and hopefully feel “normal” again.
