What I lost:
-agoraphobia (fear of going outside)
-nervous jitters/shakes
-throwing up blood/defecating blood
-fear of other people
-fantasizing about another life
-feelings of dread and doom
-an overall feeling of not giving a rat's ass about anything or anyone
What I gained:
-freedom!
-plans for the future
-a nice job
-getting to know myself
-feelings of self-worth
-being relatively happy (I never, EVER thought I would say that!)
