Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Shopping Day...

I Picked up 10$ in a parking lot, didn't see anyone drop it so I picked it up and went inside to get my groceries next thing I know I have someone coming in with two girls I seen walk passed me on the way in hearing "Is this the guy" and then demands to have the money back of coarse I gave it back and said I didn't see them drop it otherwise I would've gave it to them. I mean seriously you need to send a big guy with a gun on his hip to scare me into giving 10$ back because you were too shy to ask if I seen the money when walking passed me? If I seen you drop it I would've given it to you immediately. You were treating me like I picked your kids pocket! I couldn't even think straight anymore cause of the anxiety and started shaking while I was shopping... I tried so hard to keep my mind off it but this guy that seen the incident kept staring at me and from how the other guy treated me I just felt his eyes burning with judgement that I was a terrible person trying to steal someones money.

I'm so sorry that happened. Some people just don't seem to be able to see a situation from another's point of view. I am really sorry. I hope you are able to move on from that and leave it in the past. They are not worth your time to get upset over. They don't deserve it.

This is one of those times you just have to shrug off the other persons' reaction. It is not your problem, it is theirs. Good for you to give "back" the money. It is sad when a person uses authority figure to handle a situation like this.
You are a good person, and your heart is in the right place.
Best wishes.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
