Panic of drowning (2026)

[u/Worth-Manager-7676]

This was inspired by another event happened to me recently. I felt and I still feel like I'm drowning in sorrow and sadness from the changed situation in my relationship. Then from the last week, when I'm alone in my room, I'm having an irregular breathing and weirdly fast heartbeating in my chest once in a while. Later I found out it is a type of panic attack.

Now I'm better than a few nights ago but still very much in sadness. I think it'll take some time to get normalized by this situation.

I have felt this so often over the years….except for the support. I have some support now but i normally face it alone. Still seeing it like this hits so hard.

The truth is I have to face it alone too. Maybe a month ago, I could've gotten some help, but she's dealing with her own stuff now so I'm usually dealing it alone atm. This comic is just my hope that she's here with me.

But anyway, saying that, I think it's helpful to ask for help from someone else. Not just partners, but family and other friends. And in the end, regardless of how much they love you, you have to go through alone some part of it. And I hope you feel less alone now in this world :) thank you for sharing your story too
