I know it's a bit of a serious topic but I kind of want to talk about it.
I've had two panic attacks and one mental breakdown

Yep. I've had many panic attacks, including a couple in public (I went to the bathroom, but I was still at my high school, then later in college). They usually would involve hallucinations of a dark figure behind a door watching me.

I had a mental breakdown once (unless attempted suicides count, too?) in which I cried like a baby every night for like..two weeks? Or maybe a month.. It was due to a realization about myself that I'd been in denial about my entire life. I'm still in denial. I don't rock the boat.

Currently, I rarely will have a panic attack anymore, but when I do, the hallucinations are much worse and appear much more quickly. And that's my experience

@SW-User I understand my mental breakdown was caused by a secret I've kept to myself for a long time
