Kerry Washington shared an excerpt from her new memoir, Thicker Than Water, on Oprah Daily and opened up about her parents’ tumultuous relationship, which caused panic attacks at seven years old. “They manifested first as a rhythm of anxiety that encircled my brain, then evolved into a rapid pulsing, a whirling frenzy of metallic thumps, like those nauseating old spinning rides at a county fair,” she wrote. Washington remembers having to “turn [her] brain off” when she felt an attack emerging. “But it would take hold in my fascia, then work outward through my muscles and tendons. Sometimes, I would rock my body back and forth, vibrating, rattling, trying to drown out the pulsing noise and regain control of my body,” she describes. “Sometimes I would put my head under a pillow, trying to ignore the fact that the torture was coming from within me. But only exhaustion would override the rhythm, lulling me to the dream state beyond my fears.” Thicker Than Water hits shelves on September 26.
