And next thing you know I was having 5, 6, sometimes 8 panic attacks a day." "We often think if we've never experienced it, often there's this judgement of it's just an emotion of excessive worry." "So I had a lot of disrespect to be honest towards people who struggled with anxiety, cause I was a "suck it up princess" kind of person." "It's literally like the light just goes out; it just burns out." "You can only build that foundation for so long on your own strength. It catches up with you."

"I found the nothing box!" "And sometimes we as Christians shove it down with a lot of positivity and Christian quotes." "This pain was so fresh and so real like it had happened yesterday." "But I needed to sort of come to the reality of what happened to me and actually feel it." "But we don't get to the restoration part, which means we get more back than what we lost; which means we have more victory than what we went in with, which is the beautiful picture of when God redeems." "He was seeking the Lord on my behalf." "It's this evil thing where we have this will, this drive to strive for the approval of God, our parents, our in-laws, our husband, our children, and ourselves."
