It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this optimistic about my medicine but I feel like something is finally working. I’ve decided to make a list of all things that I’ve been noticing just so far. Here goes:

  • I’m no longer afraid to make or receive phone calls. I used to be terrified and put off making important calls until the absolute last minute or occasionally not at all. At work I’ve been able to call all sorts of customer service places and even pick up the phone and direct calls. 
  • I no longer feel guilty or scared to cross the street. I just do it. I used to walk very slowly when approaching and mentally freak out about just how many cars would have to stop, when I should push the button, and how many people were judging how I was walking or how I looked as I crossed. 
  • I no longer freak out about asking my boss questions or admitting to a mistake. I used to put off questions until I absolutely had to ask and then feel extremely stupid as I tried to explain. No longer!

Just these three things have made such a difference in my life and I’m so grateful that something is finally help me to overcome my fears socially while making me feel better in general. I’m so excited for the future with this medication included in my mix!

I hope you’re all having a stellar Sunday!
