This is not a metaphor. This is not a dramatization. This is what a panic attack actually looks like when it doesn't stop. After midnight on a cold Thursday night, my body turned against me. What started as a familiar warning - that quiet something's wrong feeling - turned into hours of pacing, shaking, dissociation, and survival rituals that didn't work the way they were supposed to. I walked until my legs felt hollow. Held ice until my hands stopped feeling real. Cleaned bathrooms because movement was the only thing keeping me upright. Tried food. Tried noise. Tried silence. Tried lying down. Nothing shut it off. This is a record of that night - from the first wave of panic to the moment I finally came back into myself days later. No inspiration. No recovery arc. No clean ending. Just what it's like to stay alive when your nervous system refuses to let you rest.

They met not as saviors or soulmates, but as strangers walking the same trail one step ahead, one step behind, always finding their way back to each other. And slowly, healing began. Not with grand declarations. Not with fairy tales. But with shared meals beneath starlit skies. With hikes through pine forests and whispered conversations beside campfires. With honesty. With time. With choice. Because sometimes, the only thing stronger than pain is the love that grows from it. "Where the Mountain Heals" is a story about second chances, not just in love, but in life. It's about how we carry our pasts, but don't have to be carried by them. And it's about the quiet magic of the mountains How they change people. How they mend hearts. How they bring us home. To ourselves. And sometimes... to each other.

Ugh, everything just feels so... meh. Like, I'm just going through the motions, you know? Nothing really excites me anymore. I'm just a empty shell of my former self, wandering aimlessly, trying to find something, anything, that sparks joy. But it's all just a dull, gray haze. Even things I used to love feel like a chore. I'm just so... done. With everything. 😮‍💨

She didn't write to be understood - she wrote to stay alive. Each page of this diary breathes with the quiet ache of a girl who refused to disappear beneath her pain.

TRIGGER WARNING SORRY SOME OF THIS IS SAD I PROMISE IT GOT BETTER

This poem captures a real and chaotic Sunday morning that spiraled from peaceful oatmeal to a full emotional meltdown, followed by church parking lot drama, a barking emotional-support dog, a scarecrow-looking staff member demanding a pointless car move, and the panic-triggering boss at the center of it all. It's honest, funny, dramatic, emotional, and told with the kind of humor you use when life throws nonsense at you before 10 AM. If you've ever had a day where everything goes wrong for no reason, this poem is your whole soul on paper.

Every step becomes a trial, each one heavier than the last. Progressing becomes exhausting. What alternative is left? To stop? Is it even conceivable? So to fall... falling could simplify everything, wouldn't it?
