???

I don't talk a whole lot about recovery or healing here... hiking and being in nature is my healing, but today something unexpected happened. I started having a panic attack while I was driving home. It started with the feeling of butterflies in my stomach... I could feel my breathing starting to become more rapid, and it ended with me having tunnel vision. I had to stop 3 times because I was feeling so freaked out. I stopped and fixed myself some hot tea and texted a friend about what was happening. Just connecting with someone helped to ground me and I was able to make it home safely. I have no idea what hte actual trigger was - I hope it was a one-time thing.
