I spoke out about me having a panic attack in front of my friends for the first time

[Lycholko]

My friends and I were lounging in my basement when I started having a panic attack. I didn’t know what to do. If o got up and left without explaining, they would question me and I didn't want to tell them how I was actually feeling. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore so I said that the anxiety was hitting me and they all said you should go upstairs and stuff like that. I was hesitant at first but then my friend, who never shows affection or understanding of mental health issues asked me if I wanted them to come up with me. I was about to start bawling my eyes out but I didn’t. We were just in my room talking about random stuff when my other friend noticed my poster and said, “Hey, you can take down that poster because I just found you.” I started crying then. “You will be found” from Dear Evan Hansen have been my go-to sad song. I would cry to that phrase all the time and when she said that, I truly felt love, something I haven't felt in a while! ༼ ° ▽ ° ༽

That’s great! I know sometimes it is hard to open up to others about mental health. But it definitely feels a lot better after you get it out of you. Even better that you have good friends who support you!
