I was recently diagnosed with ADHD after a decades long struggle with anxiety mostly around completing tasks that were daunting so I can definitely relate to so many of the experiences you discussed! Since the pandemic, I have also struggled with traveling and being in confined/crowded spaces as well and I can only imagine how being in NYC on the subway compounded your anxiety. It’s really refreshing to hear a mental health professional share their mental health struggles. So many times we have this perception that mental health professionals have somehow “hacked” it and have excellent mental hygiene 100% of the time which is of course not possible because we are all only human! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story! I am so glad you are now exercising, praying and reclaiming your mental health ❤️
Hugs lady! I have never had major anxiety until my 4th child. I had my first panic attack in my kitchen and didn’t realize what was happening till it was over. I almost blacked out because I could not control my breathing. Anxiety is debilitating when it hits. I have not been able to treat it with medication because it seems to create other problems.
This story was hard for me to record but I’m so glad I did! It was definitely therapeutic 🙏🏽 Can you relate? Or know of anyone that can?
