panic attacks

Sudden periods of intense fear. But remember, you're not alone.

The Hour That Changed Everything
It was a mild spring afternoon, and the scent of fresh rain lingered in the air. Trees outside were beginning to bloom, and birds sang melodies that echoed through the open windows. The Mallard home was quiet, heavy with an anticipation that could not yet be named.

Over, Under, or Indifferent? The Psychology of Toilet Paper Preferences and What They Reveal About Us
At first glance, toilet paper orientation seems like a mundane household detail. Yet for many, it’s a tiny battleground…one that triggers quiet annoyance, passive-aggressive flips, and even strong declarations of preference.

Panic Disorder versus Anxiety: What's the Difference?
Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder in which the person feels a sudden fear and anxiety that is too overwhelming to deal with. These are most often referred to as panic attacks. Persons with panic disorder tend to get panic attacks on a regular basis, sometimes for no apparent reason at all.

Learning To Redefine My Recovery
Two years ago, I relapsed; even saying this now feels like a failure and a win at the same time. But when it happened, it felt like the end of the world. Like everything I had built had crumbled and meant nothing, shame, guilt, and hopelessness are how they made me feel, and for a while, they made me wonder if I was still worthy to write and work in mental health.

Living with the Echo
Living with the Echo: A Story of PTSD and the Journey Toward Healing The clock read 3:17 AM. Sarah lay still in her bed, eyes wide open, drenched in sweat. The room was silent, but her heart was racing like she’d just sprinted a marathon. Another nightmare. Another scene replayed, as vivid and real as if it were happening all over again.

100 Reasons Why
Sometimes the price of loving so deeply comes with the quiet wondering if I should just stop caring about other people and turn dark, the path I see so many other kind souls go down after feeling the pain of this world. So, I wanted to write a list of 100 reasons that I love exactly who I am - for the days when my heart grieves and aches as my mind explores the myriad of reasons that I should be anyone other than myself - to avoid causing myself so much pain.

The First Step to a New Me. Content Warning.
There were children outside the kitchen window waiting for the bus, giggling, pure vitality. I stepped outside, the sun was warm for a December morning, almost like an early summer morning. I remembered how much I had enjoyed those first few weeks in town. They had a careful brilliance, a dancing optimism—like anything could happen. Life was vibrant.
