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
โA note for the next person. I was in the same place in 2022. I remember avoiding phone calls like it was yesterday. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.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
โReading this late at night? I've been there. Two years ago, that was me. Back then it was beta blockers before presentations. Yesterday I booked a holiday. Keep going, even slowly.โ
