OOTD; old photo, possible anxiety trigger

This was taken in February 2011, but it's an outfit that I've worn a few times and feel comfy in. (for those who would like my icon! snag if you want, just please credit me)

You look fantastic. I absolutely love the sweater. Earth tones really suit you. I lived in AZ for 15 years after Chicago, and I love the sandal wearing, too!

Earth tones are awesome on you! And I'm so glad to hear that things are going better for you now. I love the way that looking at this photo reminds you of the turning point, and that you came through strong.

Earth tones are awesome on you!

Agreed!

And thanks for sharing that story, I'm sure it could help many. I know I may have been close to, if not in, some very similar shoes and never plucked up enough courage to truly do something about it or felt that I deserved any. I don't recommend traveling that road alone if you don't have to. I don't think jobs truly appreciate what such work situations can do to people.

Best wishes in the future!

My apologies. I have edited accordingly.

Will remember this when posting in the future.

I'm glad the meds helped, and that you won't be working extra hours, which is very stressful.

I like the outfit a lot! The sweater looks cute on you. Are you a shortie like me? I'm 5'2" and I'd love to wear a very long sweater like that.

Well, I no longer work with that company, so I've got a LOT of free time. It's actually been quite nice to my health.

I am just barely 5' 3". Barely. Even then, it depends on the scale at the doctor's office. I love the long sweaters and shirts that go to my knees! I recommend looking for them when autumn stuff starts to filter into the stores :)

hi! i have borderline personality disorder, and have been on meds for a very long time. it has taken forever to find the right meds for me. now i rarely have panic attacks but still can get irrational and paranoid. i understand panic attacks, they are horrifying(especially if you're in public). i'm so glad your med works for you! if you ever want or need to talk about such things, my email is fiveorsixgirls@gmail.com. i wish you all the luck and support! x
