So, as you all know. I have a panic disorder, meaning? I get panic attacks regularly. And there bad. Like bad. And I usually can't control myself and I lose my shit and I cry, scream and do things I regret the minute is over.

Today, my parents were visiting a friend and sadly, (not so sadly) they left me home because I didn't want to go. Anyways, so, big story short. I got a huge panic attack, and I mean, shortness of breath, dizziness, heart palpitations, the whole deal. And I didn't know what to do. I mean, it's already bad when my parents are here to help me. And there were NOT.

So, I tried to calm myself down. As I usually start before actually losing my shit and cry for hours. But this time, I searched 'How to control panic attacks' in Google. I did something I never do: I drank water. And I also splashed myself with cold water.

I calmed down. I repeat, I calmed down all by myself!!! And I know some of you will think that's stupid or idiotic but for people who has mental illness, or panic attacks, it's not easy to calm down. Even if you have an adult or a friend, it's still not easy. And my panic disorder it's been going for two years and never have I never calmed down by myself.

I mean, people with mental illness will get that calming yourself down and without any help is like a HUGE step from you where. And I know this is stupid and probably nobody will comment or even vote. But I'm happy with myself. For the first time in my life, I calmed down all by my own.

I can't wait to tell my parents. And by the way, a new chapter is coming. It's still a draft but it might be the last chapter before I start the sequel. After the sequel, I'll do the prequel. To unconfuse yourselves.

Anyways, IM REALLY happy for myself and how I handled the situation.

Carry on, mates. (I say that as Captain Jack Sparrow.)

I hope this is a story to inspire all the people out there that suffer mental illness. There's still hope out there.
