When my anxiety gets really bad I try to focus on how anxiety is a shared experience. A hundred million people around the world probably feel the exact same way as I do at that moment. It helps me feel less alone and isolated, which is the worst thing anxiety does to a person.

A lot of you are experiencing panic attacks for the first time during this pandemic/recession. You are not alone. This is a horribly stressful time for all of us. Breathe in counting to four, hold counting to four, breathe out counting to four. Slow exhale is most important.

You aren’t crazy. This is horribly stressful. Take care of yourselves.
