Read MoreI am not a people person. I have a serious medical issue that is very difficult to understand, harder to explain, and even worse when dealing with someone that thinks their helping you when they really aren't.
So, I'm writing this because as much as a pain in the neck I can be, I want to shout it out loud when someone is exceptionally helpful.
A few weeks ago, I was driving through Colorado and I started having an attack. I immediately looked up the nearest Wal-Mart (as they sell what I need over the counter) and sadly, the nearest one was 45 minutes away, so I landed in the Leadville Safeway.
While there, my thoughts where racing and confused, my anxiety was through the roof, and I was full on melt down panic mode.
When a very kind sounding voice spoke up behind me and said "Excuse me sir, are you okay?"
There was a young Lady from the Pharmacy standing there (I learned her name is Tianna) with the most caring look on her face.
I explained to her what was going on, and she immediately did everything right. I didn't have to explain anything to her, I didn't have to correct anything she did (It's not fair to the people who are trying to help, but with a mental health issue, even what someone intends as helpful, isn't always).
She helped me look for the medication I needed (sadly they didn't have it but it was a shot in the dark anyway), was kind, compassionate and considerate.
She went above and beyond helping me, and as someone who was in crisis, I was, and am, exceptionally thankful for her assistance.
Thank you to the Lady who helped, and thank you to this Safeway in general for being very understanding.
