The sentence that stayed in focus

Dear Delyara, Following my breakdown last summer, my mind was so shattered by anxiety that I couldn't read a single sentence without the words spinning into an unreadable blur that triggered an immediate panic attack. I went from managing complex corporate strategies to not being able to read the instructions on a cereal box. Tonight, sitting in the quiet corner of my room with a hot cup of tea, I opened a book on classic design logic. I didn't just skim it; I read four full chapters. I followed the arguments, I appreciated the layout, and my mind stayed completely calm, completely locked in. When I closed the cover, I let out a cry of pure joy. My mental infrastructure is rebuilding its walls. I am finding my way back to my own intelligence, page by page.
