โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. I remember when a racing heart that I was sure was my heart, like it was yesterday. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It changes. It really does.โ
โIf you're just starting with panic attacks, I won't tell you it's easy. It's not. But I will say this: you're not the only one. The train thing, the heart thing, the tiredness that makes no sense. I've been there. I still go there. What helped me was telling one person. Just one. Mine was my friend Can. He didn't try to fix it. He just listened and then made a stupid joke. It was exactly what I needed. The other thing: ask for help. A doctor, a therapist, a friend. It's not a sign of weakness. It's just practical. Like getting a guitar string replaced when it breaks. You can't play with a broken string.โ
โDear stranger, i was in the same place eighteen months ago. Beta blockers before presentations. That was my life. I got a new job this spring. From someone who gets it.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: Two years ago, that was me. For me it was avoiding phone calls. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back.โ
