MIND SYMPTOMS
Brace yourself, the storm is coming! 
During this period, I developed a mix of old and new phobias. One of the most prominent was agoraphobia (fear of public places). I’ve always been an outgoing person, but suddenly, I was terrified of getting trapped in buildings. The fear was so intense that I couldn’t even use fitting rooms or try on clothes, fearing I might be locked inside. On one occasion, I had a severe panic attack in a changing room.
Additionally, I developed a phobia that buildings might collapse on me, even though they were strong, modern, and beautiful. This irrational fear prevented me from entering large malls. And even if I did, I would leave very quickly due to overwhelming anxiety.
In the last month, I experienced severe palpitations and trembling every time I went to the market.
There were many other irrational fears, but these were the most impactful.
Another surprising development was my growing anxiety after hospital visits. As a doctor, I had spent years in hospitals without any issues, but suddenly, they became a source of great distress.
ANXIETY
I began experiencing gut-wrenching, crippling anxiety attacks multiple times a day. Honestly, if anxiety had a human form, it would look exactly like me—okay, sorry for the bad joke .
Most importantly, due to an upcoming exam and several other stressors, my anxiety became a constant battle. There were days when it needed to be managed hourly—and sometimes even half-hourly. Yes, it sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. So, feel free to wonder in complete peace about it 
(A huge round of applause to my consultant, Psychotherapist and Homeopathic Dr. Hussain Kaisrani, for his unwavering support, especially on those days when I was at my lowest and hated myself for being a mess.)
