What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up?

I had been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for years, but laziness, i guess, kept me from it. I picked it up with moderate seriousness and am very greatful i did. I wish i would've started sooner.

Keep it up! I feel that you are choosing the safest and most responsible way to deal with your panic attacks. You should feel good about that.

Thanks! I'm even someone who knew of a couple people who had panic attacks a long time ago and was one of those guys who secretly thought "they can't be that bad just take a breath" until i actually had some. Wow! I sure learned my lesson

Humans have to experience something to really understand it. And anything that effects our bodies, and panic attacks definitely do that, is really hard to understand because we can only take the word of that person. There isn't anything that we can see that would make someone behave that way. So there's always going to be a part inside of us that thinks it's not as bad as it is.

And not because we don't believe the person either. We just can't know how another person is experiencing their pain.
