When I was younger, I was very socially awkward. I got anxiety trying to talk to strangers. I think travel will force me to get over that and become a normal person.It’s sink or swim on the road and, since I have decided to travel and be on the road so much, I want you to help me swim.
I was 11 when I had my first panic attack. I thought I was going to die. I was drenched in sweat within seconds, I had pins and needles everywhere, my chest was tight, and my left arm was tingling in a way that convinced me I was having a heart attack.
These panic attacks would take hold of my life — I was having as many as ten a day. I developed an eating disorder and was unable to leave my house for months at a time.
I dont seek out treatment either. Instead, I have decided to travel, hoping that this would make me the self-assured, confident person I longed to be and realize that having a panic attack on a beach in Thailand may be better than having one at home.
