today i was having an anxiety attack while driving to work. You know the kind where a thousand nasty memories all start rolling up on you? Like that time that you took a bite out of the last cookie at the same time that your little sibling asked for a cookie? Or the time that you awkwardly introduced everyone but the one person you had a crush on and they equally awkwardly introduced themselves? Or the time that your grocery bag broke in the middle of a busy store parking lot to the annoyance of all the honking cars? I was having all these flash backs and my hands were getting sweaty and my stomach was writhing and I literally turned down the music on the radio and screamed. I just screamed. I was just raging in the quiet little box world of my car like “I AM A BEAUTIFUL AND KIND PERSON WHO SOMETIMES MAKES MISTAKES. I AM A GOOD FRIEND AND A GOOD MOM AND A GOOD WIFE AND YOU KNOW WHAT ANXIETY YOU CAN JUST BACK THE FUCK UP.”
….and you know what?
It did. O_O
