I kept it a secret for that long and the pandemic definitely made things worse for me. I’ve started to see a therapist which is good but just yesterday and today, I had two panic attacks. They were school and life related. I felt like I was suffocating and I cried in silence, laying in bed. I was doing fine a couple weeks ago and then it just hit me. My family is supportive but at the same time, they think I’m too weak and that I need to toughen up. It’s so difficult for me to do that. I just needed to get this off my chest because it’s all been too much lately. I feel like I need to take a step back and just need some support.
