Millions of voiceless individuals suffer from anxiety and panic disorders. They hide their condition out of fear of judgment or misunderstanding. They go on suffering in silence, unable to reach out and be understood. #TheStruggleIsReal gives a voice to those sufferers. It describes one person's experience, but speaks to the experiences of many. This collection of poems is multifaceted in its descriptions of panic disorder. From that first paralyzing panic attack to pharmaceutical treatments; from social stigma to spiritual struggles. #TheStruggleIsReal attempts to give a complete view of the disorder.
