I was driving alone at night 30 minutes away from home when a panic attack unlike I’ve ever experienced hit me out of nowhere. I thought I was dying. It completely rewired my brain chemistry, and the life I once had was gone in an flash. I could no longer drive, eat, sleep, work, function as a normal human being. I threw away 7 years of sobriety because the emotional turmoil I was In was too unbearable to handle. It’s been two years since and I’m still dealing with the echos of that night. I’m slowly healing, but don’t ever take life for granted, because it can shift unexpectedly in an instant. Although im not the same person, im stronger for it.
