When I was at my worst,

I had very difficult times doing everything.

I had panic attacks.

I had anxiety at all times.

I was very depressed.

I had agoraphobia.

I couldn't go out in public.

And if I could make it into a grocery store,

at times I would leave the cart and walk out and go home

without them because I couldn't continue any longer.

It was difficult to live with but it was all part

of learning how to live with my new normal.

And that with therapy and the creative ways I could come

up with to help myself got me back in the grocery stores,

got me out of my isolation.
