Not nice, especially when you’re not at home and comfortable.

I’m glad you’ve overcome the worst of it but are you doing anything in the meantime for your chronic anxiety?
I’d say I could fully vibe with you over having long-term anxiety but my anxiety issues come and go at different points in my life. COVID wiped me out for two weeks not long ago and I thought I was over the worst of it but I ended up losing my breath and freaking out on Tuesday morning so I had to call an ambulance. Turns out it was just another panic attack (of the kind that I’m vaguely used to already) but there’s nothing more frightening than fearing that it’s in connection with Covid and genuinely fearing for your life (and in any case you feel like you’re going to die anyway during a panic attack). Luckily none of this was in public but it might as well have been considering how embarrassing it felt for me.
