Does anyone here suffer from, or ever suffered from anxiety?

My story is, I grew up a very shy child and as such was a introvert as an adult. I would always get bad anxiety when i would go into social situations where I did not know the person I was going to meet, such as going on dates or meeting new people to try and make friends.

But that all changed in the last week of July. I had been working at a call center for 9 months, which pretty much made me face my fear everyday I worked! I would have to call people and sometimes stand up for myself and argue with difficult customers.

I also applied for a new job where I would be getting much better hours and making more per hour then i ever had in my life! I feel like my life is coming together and I think that really helped. I also just passed my class 5 road test the first time! I needed it for the new job that I applied for.

I think that with what was going on in my life I just gained self confidence and the anxiety just went away. its hard to explain just one day I woke up and it was gone! I wasn't even taking any medication for it

I will never forget where I came from though and will always have empathy for others who were like me.

Does anyone else have any story to share about dealing with or overcoming anxiety?
