I really started to feel better after four days. The anxiety has slowly dissipated since then. I felt a little bit of it earlier, as I live inner-city and there is a big concert in town today, everyone is out drinking, and here I am sober riding around on my scooter. (the manual kind, it is a workout!) Felt sort of out of place, which is crazy, because today I am straight, and everyone else is out on the streets in groups partying. I relish in the fact that tomorrow morning there will be peace and quiet around here for me to enjoy while everybody sleeps off their drunk.
