Sample achievements of a normal person :

• Excelled at sports.
• Landed a scholarship.
• Started to date the love of their lives.
• Created something beautiful which actually saw the light of the day.
• Travelled wherever they wanted to.
• Hot shot job.

Sample achievements of a person with anxiety :

• Managed to look up into the faces of people for a whole 10 minutes.
• Managed to keep arms not crossed - like you know the most defensive body posture ever.
• Enquired about a suitable hobby.
• Dared to dream while convincing yourself it is completely possible to happen to you.
• Debated whether all of this is made up or just a self sabotaging pity party ploy, and won.
• Good meditation session.
• Managed to concentrate on the task on hand mindfully without despairing about life.
• Talked to 2 strangers.

Sounds martyr-y, but I swear it's not. Just thinking about it today.
