Hey everyone. My name is Deja and my anxiety is fairly new to me (just about 5 months) and I just can’t be happier that I came across this company. My anxiety was triggered by the death of a close friend (first time for me) and I tried everything in my power to try to keep feeling myself. It was an unexpected death so I had my first panic attack the day we found out. It was minor (couldn’t catch my breath and my heart was racing) but I was able to go outside and take a breath and it soon subsided. It wasn’t until a couple days after the funeral I had my first serious panic attack. I just was overthinking and couldn’t keep my mind off it and ended up going to the hospital. I couldn’t catch my breath, heart was racing, body was trembling, feeling like I was going to pass out, just feelings I truly never felt before. Of course, I got my results back and everything came back normal. I felt so scared and relieved at the same time. So I ended up taking my health more seriously and got a therapist. We still talk til this day and still some days are just harder than others. Grieving really ain’t no joke and the toll it takes on your body physically just heightened the stress. I’m now at a bad week just crying and crying even called out of work recently because it become so overwhelming. I’m ready to start this journey and get back to a happy mindset. I hope we all get through this.
