Very authentic and enjoyable read. I too suffered through panic attacks for about a decade in my youth. But when you read about them or remember them they seem comical as they are so irrational. Like the old silent comedy movies

Well this is timely. I just had my second panic attack yesterday, having wrongfully assumed that my first, years ago, was an anomaly. Thanks for sharing! We need more stories like this to give each other language for what feels like certain death. At the very least, it can save us Americans from unnecessary medical bills. Because the only thing worse than feeling like you're dying is anticipating the bill that comes from making it out alive!
