Dear Anxiety
I finally went back to my support group today. It was beyond terrifying.
I had a panic attack in the lobby. My entire body started shaking and I was thinking so fast I couldn't even understand my own thoughts. Everything blurred out around me and my head was so loud and I was sobbing and hyperventilating.
It took a long time, and a lot of breathing I wasn't sure I was capable of, but I finally calmed down. I actually ended up staying for the session. Though I was just huddled on the couch the whole time... Still, my friends there seemed relieved to see me.
Still shaken up, Aleah
