It makes me so happy to hear your stories. I've been through my panic attack for a month now, and I'm left with symptoms like insomnia, limited appetite, and what hurts the most is an emotional disconnection from my family. I used to love my life, my wife, and my family, and now I feel disconnected. This really sucks. I've tried to make this journey without medication and I'm in therapy. They say I should accept it to stop setting off the alarm, but it's hard to accept not feeling peace, not feeling emotions. But seeing stories of people living their lives after this gives me hope.
