"I don't know how easy it is to explain the moment when another human being, another Maria, enters my mind and commands it. It commands it to scare me, to make my body sweat, my heart flutter, my eyes blur, my breath be taken away. The simplest everyday things become difficult... My God, someone take the wheel from my hands, the bus behind me is chasing me, I have nowhere to stop. The phone rings, I love you but right now I don't have the breaths to answer your call and tell you."

Anxiety attacks are a coin with two sides.

Having lived for more than ten years with panic attacks, I have tried to summarize my experiences, my innermost thoughts, and my conclusions from this "coexistence" and share them with you.

I hope that by reading this personal account, you will turn the coin towards the optimistic side.

That side exists, as long as we want to see it!

MARIA PAPAGEORGIOU

"With this book, Maria opens a door to the public that, believe me, is very difficult to open. A personal confession about anxiety attacks, with respect for every individual who may suffer from this condition, is often a release for many others who do not dare to admit it even to themselves.

A flowing narrative, a book that you hold in your hands until it's finished, stories and descriptions that bring you ever closer to it, as it is now a very common phenomenon that most likely many people will have experienced at least once in their lives." EFI CHRYSOU, debop.gr
