Well, about 3 years ago I was working a housekeeping job where I was a bum! I was sleeping in my car and felt that I might have smelled, I kept my clothes clean as possible, and took bird baths.

I felt very self conscious that maybe the girls who worked there that I didn’t have any contact with, may have said I smelled me, I was afraid I was maybe talked about and viewed as a bum. I drove a raggedy car and was probably at my lowest in life.

I stayed at the job for 3 months as I was attending school too. Fast forward, I will be graduating this week receiving my bachelor in Nursing. I am currently working as a Home Heath Aide plus I’ve been interning for about 4 months and will be starting as a RN after I graduate. I have a nice studio apartment, I’m clean, my appearance and all of that improved. And I have a guaranteed job waiting on me.

However, I just fear the thought of being called out and embarrassed about it.

I keep thinking about what if I run into these people again? I know this is ridiculous but I have always dealt with depression and anxiety
