From people who came through it
“If 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.”
Arda G. · been through anxiety and panic“If 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.”
Uni student in Lille · been through anxiety and panic“When it first starts, you might think you are just tired. That is how it was for me. But if your stomach is in knots every morning and you avoid the phone and cry in the toilets, that is not tired. That is something else. And it is not a weakness in you. I am not going to tell you it goes away quickly. For me, it has not. But I am not crying in the work toilets anymore. I am still here, and I am learning to ask for help. You can too. Start small. One phone call, one appointment. That's enough for today.”
