"Breathe in, two, three, breathe out, two, three, four," I repeat like a mantra in my head. I try to fill my lungs, but the typical hospital air seems to hold less and less oxygen. Freshly graduated psychologist Iris ter Haar embarks on her entrepreneurial career full of enthusiasm. Outwardly, everything seems to be going well, but unknowingly, her world shrinks until she no longer dares to leave her house. As an occupational therapy, she embroiders her fingers until they blister while on a seemingly endless waiting list for a psychologist. In 2018, she was diagnosed with panic disorder and agoraphobia. Iris now has a successful embroidery webshop and (mostly) manages to leave the house without clammy hands again. In this book, she lightheartedly shares what it's like to be consumed by fears to the point of losing yourself. But also how—through ups and downs—she gets back on track. Includes handy lists of what to do during a panic attack, how to get through a waiting list, and the science behind anxiety disorders.
