Walking up the stairs back to my classroom after a day of teaching, I couldn’t catch my breath. My rapidly pounding heart caused me to sweat, the kind that seems to smell really bad right away, and then the tears came. It was confusing and came without warning. I called my nurse practitioner. She helped me gather myself. That was my first panic attack. To be fair, I guess there were warnings; the headaches, neckaches, backaches. Constant tiredness, little energy, and so much anxiety that previously remained unnamed. One little blue pill, quitting my job, and a few years later, and things have calmed down. Mostly, I learned how to do less, and to do it better. To realize that everything I have been given is a gift, and I show gratitude by stewarding those gifts well.
