"Going into grocery stores was really difficult for me because I couldn't see over the rows of food," she said. Now, more than five years after the shooting, Lawson no longer has daily panic attacks, and said she's in a much better place. "I don't want people to think that it's just kind of this bleak outcome that you're always you know going to be severely traumatized," she said. She said that some of her own friends and people in her support system didn't understand why she was still struggling several months after the Washington Navy Yard shooting.
