"Panic Attack!"
I've been overwhelmed by anxiety for as long as I can remember.
I thought it was the normal way to be!
I'd be stuck in traffic, and these irritating voices would take my brain hostage "Did you leave
the coffee on? The house will catch on fire, the neighbors will burn!"
Even though I knew the fears were unfounded, I found myself turning the car around again and again.
I decided to make an animated movie about it.
