PERSONAL FINANCE & LIFESTYLE
I once had a terrible panic attack that led to me being on sick leave. Long story short, this happened in 2016. At the time I was a full-time university student working at least 20-30 hours per week. I held an office job that was quite demanding. I was handling my tasks plus work that …
