My First Panic Attack In 8 Years

Summary

• I experienced a panic attack, the first in eight years, which left me feeling incredibly overwhelmed.
• When I couldn't hide my struggle any longer, I opened up to someone close to me.
• This person had skills to assist me where I was lacking, showing me the value of sharing my difficulties.
• By expressing my challenges, I realized others might have faced similar issues and learned how to overcome them.
• Keeping problems to myself prevented me from discovering the experiences and knowledge others have that could help me.
• It's important to allow the people in our lives the chance to support us when we are in need.

How To Take Action

I would suggest being open with others when you're feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes, you might be facing a problem and feel very alone, like when I had a panic attack after many years. It can make you feel like you should hide it, but hiding it doesn't help. Find someone close to you and tell them what's happening.

A good way of doing this is by choosing someone you trust and simply starting the conversation. Share how you're feeling and what's troubling you. They might have been through the same thing or something similar and have ways to handle it.

Remember, by keeping your problems to yourself, you miss the chance to learn from others. People around you can't offer their knowledge or support if they don't know what you're going through.

Lastly, make it a habit to check in with yourself. If you're not feeling like yourself, think about reaching out. You could be surprised by just how much the people in your life want to help. And their advice could be exactly what you need to overcome your own challenges. Sharing isn't just about opening up; it's also about giving others the chance to support you when you need it the most.
