That One Pic
"I was on holiday in Venice Italy with my family and it was the start of a two week long holiday.
Not long before this photo was taken, I was on one of the boat buses in Venice and had quite a big panic attack just as I disembarked. Whilst on the boat I could feel it brewing and tried with all my might to stifle it until I was somewhere more private but was failing miserably an tried to hide my tears behind a pair of large rimmed sunglasses.
At this time I was not in the best head space and had a suspicion that my panic attacks where slightly more than just panic attacks and that I had depression.
It was on this holiday I told those who I love the most of this suspicion with a bit of fear as I felt once I said it out loud it was admitting this was true. I knew my family would be supportive.
It was after this holiday that I sought professional help and counselling. I look at this photo now and think about how beautiful my surroundings were and how hard I tried to fight the sadness that was inside...."
