So the first official win for the community was April of 2023.
I woke up, started my day (I think we were on Easter break) and I went to my parents' house where my sisters were.
They asked me the million dollar question like they had been asking me for the last 2 years:
"how are you feeling today?"
And for this particular day, I finally felt.... relaxed.
No more chest pains.
I slept through the whole night.
I didn't need to carry around pepto with me all day.
I just felt relaxed. Almost like I did before the anxiety and burnout.
My response lively as I said "I'MMMM BACKKKKKK!"
They thought.. what is he talking about now?
And I explained that the entire process, the training, the learning, the research, the behavior change... it worked.
I felt like myself again.
It took about 4 months, and it is still an uphill battle sometimes, but its a WIN.
Feel free to share WINS at any time in this community, especially on Friday!
Nothing but good vibes here.
