It's like you came at night and saw me hyperventillating and thinking of things I shouldn't or that's what they say anyways and wrote what I could never say out aloud.

I'm so glad you were able to relate to this, it was difficult for me to write since it felt like I was doing something wrong or revealing something that should be kept a secret, but I'm so happy you can relate

Damn, this hit way too close. The way you went from ‘deep breaths’ to full internal chaos is so real it almost feels like you’re narrating someone’s actual panic spiral. The utopia → dystopia switch? Crazy accurate. And the part about being taught to feel shame—ugh, that line stings because it’s true for so many of us. The ending with the ‘quieter panic’ is honestly the scariest part, and you captured it perfectly. This feels raw, vulnerable, and super relatable. You did amazing.”
