All stressed out! Those days of travel anxiety

Things have certainly changed over the years when it comes to traveling on the subway in Toronto.  It was so many years ago when I left home at 6 a.m. in the morning to get to work in downtown Toronto and then not returning home until almost 6 p.m.

Ah, yes!  Those days were filled with so much anxiety.  I had to fight my way onto crowded buses.  I had to navigate through the crowds in the subway stations.  I had to fight to find a seat on packed subway cars.  I had to navigate my way through and around obstacles on sidewalks.  But most of all I had to keep calm and maintain control of my frayed nerves.  

I prayed hard each day as I journeyed to and from work.  I did everything that I could think of in order to keep my head above water, but the longest day had an end.

That was the day when someone attempted to throw me onto the subway line.  I shall always remember this horrible moment.  One minute I was leaning against the back wall of Union Station, waiting for my subway, and the next I was air borne as some unknown man was carrying me towards the edge of the platform.  

I remembered seeing the yellow strip of the edge of the platform as it came into my view!  I screamed, kicked free, and then bystanders were chasing the suspect but never caught him.  

I managed to collect myself and even managed to continue working for a few more months downtown but I finally gave up the challenge and quit.
