I love that analogy, that a panic attack (a term I also hate, btw) is like a mental allergy attack. The antihistamine in my case is me trying to talk myself down from the ledge of panic, from the thoughts that are ridiculous and SO NOT ABOUT TO HAPPEN. But sometimes that’s easier said than done.
And sometimes, these attacks just… happen. They don’t even have a “trigger” all of the time for me. It’s how my body is hardwired. So when that happens, my only options are either suffer it or take medication for it. And I have no shame or qualms about responsibly using medication that makes my life so much more bearable.
So thank you for sharing, and I look forward to more of your story.
