Personal Narrative: The Power Of Anxiety

The ability to manipulate power, is very difficult to understand. Having this ability grants access to transferring, draining, and converting other powers by the touch.

That was the phrase that had been assaulting my ears for the last half an hour. Although it wasn’t odd that someone was telling me that specific phrase, this time it was different. My grandmother, whom I thought had understood my problems, had just proven to me that she actually didn’t. At the age of 12, I was heartbroken.

POWER expresses multiple things to people. It can show having physical POWER or even mental POWER. The Oxford Desk Thesaurus can relate POWER to strength. Having toughness or sturdiness is an example of physical. While having fortitude or willpower is an example of mental.

I used to see the world behind a lens of insecurity. When you are not comfortable in your own skin, it affects every decision you make. What changed me and saved me from this, however, was my activity in drama productions. I got a very small role in a play during my freshman year, and that prompted me to get more involved over the next few years. I got to learn from upperclassmen and got to see how everything fits into place if everyone works hard for the outcome. During my last two years at a different high school, I sought out more backstage work because the department badly needed it. All my experiences in drama productions have been positive, and all have helped me develop a healthier self image that enables me to focus my energy on other people, instead of myself.

If I were a famous YouTube sensation, my most watched video would be called: My Depression and Anxiety Story. When I was a Sophomore in high school, I went through a long period of time where I felt utterly miserable and alone all of the time. I would want to share my story with everyone, so they would know that even the most unlikely person can go through hardships. This is my story.

All my life, I have suffered from generalized anxiety disorder, which can make it difficult to do mundane tasks and educational requirements. For example, giving speeches, taking exams and quizzes, and having to communicate with other students that I do not know. I have been sheltered most of my life, which causes things that would be considered basic to other people to scare me. After analyzing my anxious tendencies, I came to the conclusion that the root of my anxiety comes from having seperation anxiety from my Mother after my Father passed away, which made me scared to talk to people, resulting in speech anxiety. My main fear with my speech anxiety is that I will receive a bad grade on my speech or not do well enough academically. I strive

power is defined as a power based on fear. The lead character Mitch McDeere was

I collapsed to the floor as my lungs shrunk two sizes and my tears couldn’t even be released due to my inability to breathe, let alone stand. This was my first real panic attack, and my body had succumbed to my mind. Backstage, just minutes before my first play, I began to think about all of the improvisation necessary for my role, and how I had to be in character continually (so as not to ruin the play for everyone else), and I couldn’t handle it. My lines had been erased from my mind, and my vision went blurry from tears and fear. Just then, two people had surrounded me, squatting to get on my level. Dizzy and ready to faint, my two best friends had helped me get a grip of reality again. They reminded

Just to warn you I cannot write (as you can probably tell) but these "creative rants" are just how I express myself and get my feelings out.

After being hospitalized for meningitis when I was eleven years old, I began to struggle with anxiety and a stutter. Although I did not have these problems before my illness, no one is certain that meningitis was the cause.

People have fears: spiders, snakes, tight spaces and more. My fear is public speaking. It is so hard for me to go up on stage and talk to all those people out on the audience. I feel like I have butterflies in my stomach, and I can't think straight.

Being unprepared is something we all have gone through once in our lives, or maybe if you’ve been organized up to this point, someday you’ll experience it. Getting due dates and procrastinating is something we all can relate to and are familiar with. I personally, find solace in the pressure of time running out because it motivates me to get things finished. This is the story of how I successfully procrastinated on a very important math project.

I have witnessed a boy and a girl in the fangs of fear. I was with them when it happened; the emotion bolted through our minds. The ability of fear is very robust, therefore it paralyzed us for who knows how long; the instinct of survival just kicked in; our brains developed into surviving as long as possible. The focus of survival just took control, and all judgement vanished out of our minds. Fear is very straightforward yet very complicated. I dread the thought of death and the thought that crossed my mind was, “Death is here to reap my soul”. The fear that had corrupted my mind for that minuscule amount of time was literally for nothing. The mountain lion that we saw was actually a dog that looked very similar to those types of lions, consequently

Athletic power is to enhance one's physical strength whereas psychological power is to intensify one’s strength of passion. Although these two powers may be defined as two different experiences the effects are all quite the same. The body temperature rises, the heart beats faster, the mind grows numb. All symptoms of a “power bug” bite. Power reeks of confidence and determination and tastes like aged sweat stored for just the right moment. Being drenched in this elder musk encases the creator in a fortress that no man can destroy like a cloak of protection. The stronger the pungency one possesses, the more passionate of a power one retains.

Remember the days where Batman flew over Gotham City, defeating the Joker once and for all? Or maybe when Spider-Man stuck on the walls of buildings to defeat Sand Man? All of these villains have been safely locked away for many years... all but one.
