" l used to cry with the thought of working a job or doing really anything that required a lot of mental capacity. I used to cry just to think about me doing anything other than basically sitting and hiding at home and keeping to myself.... OK I guess I was afraid. I was afraid but I was like I know I'm better than this, I know I can do more than this. Why does it feel like I step out of my house and sometimes I could barely go to the grocery store, I could barely get myself to get out of the car to go grocery shopping because I'm like, I just don't want anyone to look at me I don't want anyone to notice me and I'm like, if they do I'm afraid of what they're thinking, I'm afraid of who might be in the store that could make me feel uncomfortable. I just didn't want to be around people and that's called hyper vigilance it would be called paranoia if I had no reason for this weird fear but it's called hyper vigilance just because I have had a lot of people do weird stuff so it makes sense why I'd be freaked out and if you don't wanna talk about other other podcast episodes..."
