I presented my graphic design work with Doctors Without Borders for my CEO and the entire company this morning. My first presentation where I overcame a panic attack.

Hey all, I work for an agency that does work for some major nonprofits, one being DWB.

I’ve been here for a while and had a panic attack early being at this company and have been completely stuck and living in fear of presenting ever since then (more than a year).

I love my job and my work, but I’ve been so nervous that doing better would lead to more presentations and it’s been some of the roughest times of my life and career. I couldn’t present a single slide without freezing and feeling like I was going to die or my heart would beat out of my chest.

I’ve been doing intense trauma therapy ever since that initial panic attack and CHOSE to present today when I could have said no.

BUT I DID 🔥

I was able to overcome the panic and present my work with power and pride. I think this is the largest turning point in my career, and I couldn’t be happier.

I just needed to tell someone, because this has been the largest, most invisible struggle of my life without exception.

And I see the light at the end of the tunnel, if I overcame the panic this time I can do it again.
