The first full on panic attack I had was at 3am on a Thursday morning in 2019. It woke me up from what was already a bad nights sleep! I called an ambulance as I had no idea what was happening to me, I had never felt like this ~ blurred vision, feelings of intense doom, feeling like the floor was moving underneath me, feeling like I was in a dream, excessive shaking and heart palpitations – I was convinced I was passing away! ~ scariest moment of my life!
Turns out I was having a panic attack, my anxiety got SO BAD after that. I had ECGS and countless visits to the doctors (sure they were sick of seeing me) convinced something was wrong with me!
Mental Health conditions and symptoms come in many forms, some aren’t visible. I may look fine & smiley ~ when I actually leave the house, but inside I am thinking many intrusive and negative thoughts!
You are not defined by your mental health.
I am still healing and it will be a ongoing battle with my Mental Health, but I have learnt that it is a part of me, I am not defined by my anxiety and depression ~ I have learnt the early signs of when I am going to go into a panic attack and now practice breathing exercises and these help out alot.
If you are struggling with your Mental Health, please talk to someone. My social media is and always will be a safe space for everyone. My DMs and Inbox’s are always open if you need someone to talk to. I know how toxic social media can be to mental health too, so it’s always good to stay mindful that social media is not real and to try not to compare yourself to strangers on the internet.
