My mental health has been better since I started working. Oddly enough. Don't get me wrong, I still get severe anxiety especially social anxiety interacting with a bunch of people and customers but it's gotten easier. My mood swings have been way less lately. I still get paranoid sometimes. Mostly about things like worrying about not doing a good job at work and worrying that people there hate me. But I keep managing to keep showing up and pushing through it. This really gives me hope that someday I'll be able to work full time and fully support myself without social security. Some day. It also gives me hope that I'll be able to finish college. If I can manage this there's zero reason I can't handle finishing my associates degree. This is a lot more stressful than college ever was. A lot of my issues with finishing college were due to my mental health but now that it's gotten better and I'm older and more responsible now and able to handle stress better I should definitley be able to handle it.
Oh I forgot to mention, I saw a little bunny rabbit hopping around the other night on my way home from work
