Then she asked how old I was , I was freaking out because I didn’t know what she was going to do.I

I was sitting in a blue chair in the kitchen, confused. My brother was sitting to my right. I looked into my dad’s eyes; they were pained and full of sadness. He started speaking to us, but I only remember hearing the last sentence: “Dadi has a terminal neurological condition, called PSP.” Shock rushed through my body as I processed his words. Every memory of my grandparents, living life to the fullest within their quaint house in the Pittsburgh suburbs, rushed through my mind as I tried to hold on to the past.

It always started and ended with a stirring, deep in her belly. The candle sitting in her core had been spontaneously lit and the fire was gradually growing, standing taller and spreading a slow heat in her chest. Instinctively, she pulled her gut in, attempting to suffocate the flame, but realized that the effort was futile as her fingers began to tremble. Not now, she thought. What could it have possibly been this time? She knew that the question had no exact answer as she recalled the article that she had read months before, “Anxiety attacks usually occur suddenly and without warning.” Still, she couldn’t help but wonder if her senses had betrayed her, if some part of her had picked up something in the crowded room that had served as a

¨ Good Good... my mom and I went to the museum and went shark watching.¨

Anyone experiencing panic attacks knows all too well what it is like to experience these. The people I’ve worked with have described many of those symptoms. It is happening to all segments of our society. One lady told me she tried to hide it because she didn’t want to have people think she was crazy, she felt like she was crazy or at least going crazy. It can be debilitating. High functioning individuals can have panic attacks. One person I worked with had been experiencing panic attacks for over twenty years and yet was financially doing well. He had learned to manage and cope; he had developed some amazing survival skills. The best way he had been able to manage these episodes was to be an entrepreneur, which allowed him to call his own hours and

There was a time that I use to have crippling anxiety attacks and it’s something I deal with on a daily basis, but it’s something that through the years I have become better at mastering and taming. My anxiety is something that use to cripple me and make me choke during speeches. Sometimes just being in front of people would cause an episode. I use to be afraid of meeting new people and I let it constantly control my actions and stop me from taking chances and opportunities. This is something that I regret to this day. Now I try to get more involved with people and make new friends. I have made so many new friends by not letting my anxiety control me.

“Okay, Dunkin?” I wanted to try and spend some time with her and not succumb to my hormones for once so I asked to go to a public place. She agreed with a bright & pleasant

Personally, I have gone through a recovery process with anxiety disorder. Last year, I went through a dark phase because I dealt with the feeling of constant fear with no little explanation 24hrs. Even though everything in my life was perfect, I could not sleep, eat, and be happy. I was excessively worrying something bad could happen to me and I was unable to relax.As months progressed, my situation got worse that it impacted my daily activities in life such as going to school or work. I felt like I was suffocating deep in my thoughts and trapped in a prison. However, no one in my family could understand what was going on. My family would make comments such as stop fearing and pray. I felt so miserable that I could not have peace inside me.

Socializing, big crowds, random people staring at me are all my fears. Most people don’t have the ability to get over social anxiety; I didn’t go through therapy nor did I join an official support group, I grew up with a loving family, although we had our share of family trouble. During middle school, I was homeschooled with parent’s that worked full-time and a sister attending college. I was constantly at home during the day. I wasn’t allowed to go outside nor bring anyone in the house unless someone was home with me and that was very rare. So there I was just a pre-mature teen with no friends or social skills. I sought out friendship in virtual realms with chat-sites such as “Zwinky” and “IMVU (gaming)”. I created an alter-ego to hide my

At the age of 18, I started experiencing symptoms of anxiety, and for a period of 3 years I pushed through and preserved with this illness and managed to somehow stay afloat, even in extreme situations. After having an epiphany of how I wanted to live my life, I came to a conclusion that pushing through wasn’t going to be enough; I had to make the conscious effort to be better. The first step I took was admitting there was a problem, and taking responsibility. This action not only begun the steps to full recovery and liberation, but also made me realize that the fear of confronting the “fear” had been the source of my predicament, and the denial had lead to even more complications. Subsequently after that I opened about my health to my family,

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.
