From The Diary of a Panic Sufferer

In the times where the world seems to rotate in uncertain and unexpected turns, I am here trying to just get myself together. Being a resolute person, panic attacks seem to be quite ironic in my life. Unexpected and untimed episodes, living with constant fear, and having to manage it all alone make it even worse. The first time I experienced a panic attack was two years ago. I started crying, my hands trembling, heart palpitations and constant fear of something bad is going to happen. I straight-up called my best friend asking her if something is wrong with me. She made me calm down but the fear and palpitation were making my condition even worse.
