Dress-up day at school should have been fun.

I think I have had anxiety my whole life.

I know this because today while dropping my son off at school he had his Pajamas on. It was Pajama Day at his school. As I dropped him off and watched him excitedly skip away wearing his rocket-ship PJ's, I had horrible images flash through my mind. Those were images of me as a kid having dress up day at school and how nauseous and terrified I would get. I would fear that I would be the only one wearing either PJ’s or a Halloween costume so I would secretly sneak a change of clothes in my backpack. That way if I didn’t see anyone dressed as crazy as I was, I could immediately run to the nearest bathroom and change into regular clothes.
