Met My Soulmate in My Therapist's Waiting Room

I was dealing with severe anxiety and depression when I started therapy. This guy Jake was always in the waiting room after my appointments. We'd nod politely but never spoke. One day I had a panic attack in the parking lot, and he came over to help. He talked me through breathing exercises - turns out he had anxiety too. We started timing our appointments to overlap and would grab coffee after therapy. For months we supported each other through our healing journeys. Our therapist later told us she'd never seen two people grow so much together. We've been married 3 years and still go to therapy - together now.
