I looked like that. It's amazing how much weight I've put on since then.
Let's see... 2006. I had just graduated with a degree in MS Office that I didn't want to use. I was happy(-ish) cooking in a kitchen, but not really cooking to my full potential. No job prospects, no girlfriend, and living in a frozen wasteland. I realized at this point that all the "friends" I had were only around because I knew where to get the best pot.
I pretty much was drowing myself in a bottle of booze as this was the beginning point of my "if I'm drunk, I can't be unhappy" stage of my life. Living in a trashed apt with my best friend who couldn't pay his bills.
I was unhappy and was using drugs to make myself feel happy. This is when the panic attacks took over my life and I had nothing else to live for.
Thinking back, 2006 sucked.

Also, This.
I wish I would have spent half the energy I spent trying to find "someone" into finding a good job. I might not be so poor right now.
