2. My Anxiety Suddenly Became a Lot More Manageable

Although I haven't had a full-blown want-to-crawl-into-a-hole panic attack in a few years, I still felt the stressors that come with being a 26-year-old trying to get by in life. (Don't we all!). Not only do I wake up less to overthink every decision I've made since my kindergarten holiday party in 1997, but I tend to freak out less in real life over non-life-altering things. For example, I used to get extremely overwhelmed when the trains were late during my commute, mostly because being late really triggers my anxiety, but now I tend to roll with the punches more. Unless I have a big meeting at 9 a.m. (aka never), now I just get there when I get there.
