This project started as an effort to add relatable accounts to the public discourse surrounding mental health in the Covid-19 pandemic.  

Back in 2021, I explained its motivation by saying it matters to have scientific data surrounding a panic attack and to know how to prevent it, but it also matters to feel like you are not the only person in the world having a panic attack.

I found people who wished to share their accounts about the collective trauma that the pandemic really was and how they navigated a split from an old way of living.
