I was dreading a phone call with my boss earlier today. I was thinking of all the different ways I could postpone it or get out of it. I was pacing thinking about interacting with him over the phone and overthinking the way the conversation might go.

Even in a quarantined world, my social anxiety is still alive and well.

When I was kid, my family always said I was just shy. But little did they know me being around people gave me a migraine and made my jaw clench so tight that it would lock in place.

Fast forward back to today, when I was pacing around in my room. I told myself this is something I just have to do and that it won’t be so bad. And I quickly picked up the phone and called him. There were awkward moments for sure but I got through it. And sometimes that is what it takes to fight through my anxiety (and my medications).

It is an everyday fight but I just keep reminding myself that its all gonna be okay.
