anonymous_panic··on US Trade Court finds Trump tariffs illegal
They're nearly all banned because they're nearly all illegal. The president is not a king. If Trump followed the law, this wouldn't be happening.
anonymous_panic··on Fear and beauty: two weeks living with Covid-19
I just wanted—anonymously, sadly, because mental health issues are still stigmatized—to let you know that you’re not alone on this one.

I also had a combination of a vasovagal episode and a panic attack, and it has taken years to mostly get over the resulting panic disorder. (It wasn’t helped by the fact that, during one trip to the ER for panic, a nurse performed an EKG incorrectly and I was misdiagnosed with a heart condition and admitted to the cardiac ward for the night. I still can’t believe that one.)

Being sick makes me panicky too. I have a host of coping techniques and it seems to get easier each year, but it still sucks. Having to mentally navigate the current pandemic seems to be adding some resilience, at least.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your story. It helped to read it. Best of luck.
