Have you ever had that feeling where suddenly the room turns upside down, your facial muscles freeze into awkwardness itself, your heart begins to beat at maximum capacity, hands sweating, shaking, while you’re unable to keep up any semblance of normalcy, all eyes watching you melt down into a pile of human rubble, usually triggered by something completely innocuous?

If so, then you, my friend, have had a panic attack. Of course, this isn’t the official definition of panic, or probably even the most common form. I’m not a therapist so I can’t speak to this condition at that level. But I can talk about this from the point of view of someone who has had many, many experiences with this, and also, someone who has finally found a way to break free.
