First when someone tells me everything is fine mid panic attack… noitsnotfuckingfine.jpg

From the other side…. That it can’t get better. It’s hard and it takes a lot of work but does get better!

yes. for me acceptance was so imprtant. and that means accepting panic attacks. accepting that they are bad. and accepting that it can and will become better :)
