So… What’s My Story?<\/h2>\n

My first panic attack occurred in early high school.<\/p>\n

I was having strange heart palpitations for a few weeks and thought it could be a medical issue. I later learned that this was just a symptom of anxiety, but that’s beside the point. I thought <\/em>there was something wrong with my heart, so my anxiety was through the roof for weeks. One day, I worked myself up so much about this that it became hard to breathe. I was 16 years old, hyperventilating in the living room with an irregular heart beat, begging<\/em> somebody call an ambulance.<\/p>\n

This was my first panic attack.<\/strong><\/p>\n

See, anxiety runs in my family, but nobody gave me “the talk” on what anxiety is<\/a> or how to beat it. This lack of resources regarding anxiety caused me to suffer longer than necessary while I looked for answers:<\/p>\n
