panic attacks

Sudden periods of intense fear. But remember, you're not alone.

The Hustle Culture Nearly Killed Me
I don’t remember the exact moment I stopped recognizing myself. Maybe it was the third night in a row I fell asleep in my car with my laptop still glowing on my thighs. Or maybe it was the morning I coughed up blood into a paper napkin, wiped it clean, and just… kept typing. Like a machine. Like a woman possessed.

Silent Hands, Loud Truth
In a small town wrapped in foggy mornings and quiet streets, lived a boy named Haris. He was eight years old, with soft brown eyes and a silence deeper than the sea. No one really knew him. His classmates barely noticed his presence. Teachers marked his attendance, but he was just a shadow in the corner—always quiet, always watching, always hiding.

Inside the Human Mind
Inside the Human Mind: A Journey Through Thought, Emotion, and Consciousness The human mind is one of the most complex and fascinating entities known to science. It is the seat of thought, memory, emotion, and consciousness—qualities that define us as individuals and shape our perceptions of the world. Understanding the mind involves exploring the intricate connections between biology, psychology, and philosophy. This journey into the human mind reveals how our thoughts emerge, how emotions influence our behavior, and how consciousness gives us a sense of self.

I Tried to Meditate and Accidentally Summoned a Panic Attack
The Great Meditation Experiment (Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Chaos) Let me set the scene: It’s 3 AM. I’ve just watched a YouTube video titled "10 Minutes to Inner Peace!" featuring a man who looks like he’s never once stressed-eaten an entire pizza while crying over a spreadsheet. Inspired, I sit cross-legged on my floor, close my eyes, and prepare to ascend to a higher plane of existence.

What Pain Really Does to Us
Pain is a universal experience. We all go through it in one form or another. Whether it's emotional heartbreak, physical injury, or the quiet ache of loneliness, pain is something none of us can escape. But here's the twist — pain isn't always the enemy. In fact, in many ways, it's our greatest teacher.

Born At 28. Content Warning.
Never in my life had I imagined a day where I could wake up, stretching my arms to the sky as the goose bumps danced along my skin....without that feeling. That deep rooted anguish that floods in after that painfully short second of nothingness. That second when you wake up and for a moment you are unaware of the pain. A second of mercy before reality sets in, overpowered by that pit in your stomach and that growing hole in your chest.

The Silence in Room 204
Marla Thorne had worked night shifts at the Dorian Crest Hotel for nearly three years. The graveyard hours were quiet, mostly uneventful, and perfect for someone who preferred the company of still walls over people. She manned the front desk with her usual thermos of coffee, crossword puzzles, and the flickering hum of the lobby’s antique chandelier.

Breaking Free: My Journey Beyond Chronic Illness
Years of chronic illness were my constant companion. Beyond just diagnosis, chronic illness became more of a shadow that followed me around; whispering limitations, doubts and despair. Instead of just giving up jobs or plans; I had to give up who I once was as well. Today however, wellness is no longer just a dream but an established reality in my life.

The Psychology Behind Ghosting—and Why It Haunts Us
It starts with silence. Not the kind that comes after a long day or the quiet that settles between people who are comfortable with each other. This is different. This silence feels like a missing person case you weren’t prepared to file. One day, they’re texting you goodnight, and the next, your messages go unanswered like they were swallowed whole by something nameless and cold.

Inside a Panic Attack
Have you ever felt like your heart was racing so fast it might explode? Or that you couldn’t breathe, as if the walls were closing in on you? That sudden, overwhelming sense of terror that strikes without warning may not be “just stress.” You could be experiencing a panic attack — a powerful and deeply unsettling psychological and physical reaction.

Psychology of Fight or Flight. Content Warning.
I was getting ready to record a paranormal podcast. Upon speaking with my spirit friends, I found this and decided to re-write and edit this prose story. We spoke about the bullies in DC and everywhere. We agreed this should be re-written, created, and published. 2025, a year of bullies, hate, greed, craziness, destruction, and genocide. Other than that, I am eating lollipops and singing in the rain in Southern California.
