Not really. It’s slow there as well but it’s a quality vs quantity situation.

Should’ve reversed the jwb ban and demodded Frown. Straw that broke the camels back imo.

I ended up in the hospital and the next day I put in my notice at work. I constantly have this fear that walking in public, something like this might happen. But to have it actually happen is terrifying. I'm doing ok all things considered. I was planning to leave my job for some time now but this was just the straw that broke the camels back. I still dont feel comfortable going outside but in the meantime, I'm just chilling at home and getting better every day. It still shakes me to the core and i can still see it vividly on my head. Unfortunately the guy was wearing glasses, a hoodie and a mask so I wouldn't even be able to recognize him if I wanted to. I'm only sharing this here because iI've been both pretty inactive but on top of that, I dont want these thoughts circling in my head. Like i said I'm doing ok. Taking it day by day for now.

I've always been a recluse and I dont go out much regardless but now I have even less want to do so. I'm taking a few weeks off for myself as I've saved up but I wont be looking for work that requires me to leave my house. For my own anxiety sake.

Every day for the past few years I've always been super aware of my surroundings and unfortunately that didnt work out this time. It doesnt help that we live in a society with laughable gun control or lack thereof. Theres more positives to come from it but itll just take time. I'm choosing to look at this as an opportunity to change my life and better myself for the future.
