Just stay frosty. Listen then talk, take notes too.

Thanks for the advice!

You better now?

emmasternerradley.bsky.social•214 days ago

Not mid-panic attack but still having anxiety attacks. I’ll be all right, though. Thanks so much for asking!

Sending lots over now! I’ve downed a bag of sweets and am now nursing a cup of hot, milky coffee. I don’t know about you, but I’d switch ALL the treats for a better functioning mental health. (Side note, you’re my favourite short story writer, so I’m star-stuck to be having panic attacks with you.)
