Some of the most beautiful people I know are ones who take on too much, have trouble with boundaries, see the good in complex individuals. They are admirable but they also do this at their own expense if not careful. Stay close to you, baby. ♥️

For two decades panic attacks dominated a big part of my life. This is a book about a reckoning, the tens of millions who suffer in silence and a three year journey in which I met shrinks and shamans, cried with strangers, found a community and eventually, healing.
