In 2020, I started college at Michigan State University. It should have been a fresh beginning, but on my very first day, I received a call that my dad had passed away from cancer. I was devastated. The grief, isolation, and sudden shift into adulthood triggered a severe panic disorder. For years, I lived in fear of my own mind. Panic attacks would come at random and consume me, leaving me unable to breathe, think, or function. I tried medication, but the side effects felt like trading one problem for another. I felt lost and disconnected from the world and others as a whole. “In Its Tracks” is an all-natural, sour hard candy infused with calming adaptogens including Holy Basil and L-theanine, designed to physically and chemically interrupt panic attacks and reduce anxiety symptoms on the spot. There is Vitamin D as well to replace the body with an often depleted vitamin within those diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Unlike supplements in pill form or medicalized anxiety treatments, it’s something you can carry in your bag, take in public, and feel proud, not ashamed to use.
