I was catching every red light on my way to therapy. EVERY ONE.
I rushed in, unsettled, exclaiming, "I'm late!"
She said, "Lauren, you are five minutes early."
I said, "I FEEL late."
She said, "Feelings aren't facts."
Feelings. Aren't. Facts.
A couple months later, I woke up at Brad's house.
I ate Easy Mac for breakfast, despite him making a healthy, nutritious breakfast (as he always does). *Reference two blog posts ago*
I could feel it in my fingers again.
The panic attack was coming. It's the scariest feeling in the world. When your brain, your body betrays you.
Crying, I said, "How many days has it been since February 22?"
He replied, "67."
I said, "I haven't had a panic attack in 67 days."
He said, "That is a fact."
