“Panic attacks, if you haven’t had the pleasure, are not fun. They’re spiritual heart attacks that feel like physical ones.”

“Often, when I feel stuck, I look for things that delight me (and are, generally, completely unrelated to the job at hand). I then put my full weight behind getting involved with the delight target. It makes me laugh and feel like I am doing something with my time. And, sometimes, the forward momentum of a purehearted scheme unleashes a type of movement I didn’t know I could achieve. I call this move “procrastin-action.”

“When the panic attacks are strong enough, my worst reaction is feeling as if I literally don’t exist. That I’ve evaporated and I’m watching my life from outside of myself. That’s known as depersonalization/derealization. These episodes are generally brief and respond well to certain medications. But, think for a moment, about how brutally fucked-up it is that I could allow my mind to make myself feel like it doesn’t exist, all because of something like a PowerPoint presentation.”
