Once my mom broke the news to me that I would be attending to a public school in 2012 i had never been more scared in my life. I had such bad anxiety I had this problem where if I talk to someone or sit in the wrong place I'd start shaking and my heart would beat faster then I could count. The next morning when I got on the bus for the first time everything turned to silence while everyone looked up at me i thought my heart would beat out of my chest my anxiety level was higher then it ever was.

A year went by she helped me get stable that year I no longer had a fear of talking infront of the class, my anxiety went down a lot! I had a lot of friends I got that social life I never had. I got really good grades I was excited to go to school everyday. I was very happy with my life. We were so strong makaylee and I. I believed nothing could separate us. She got into the wrong group of people for awhile and little by little I saw changes in her and I just didn't understand what she was going threw she stopped being open with me and she stopped talking to me about her problems. Just the little things. But just one day on the school assembly I started getting all of these texts from her telling me that I was a waste of time and space saying that we were never friends and that everyone would be happier if I just killed myself. After seeing that message it just ripped me to pieces. The only person I have really connected with in my life at all was her and I just didn't understand why she would hurt me like that.

    I had a similar situation where I felt the workload was too much, causing a lot of stress. I was the only one working the front desk, as well as helping the doctor with patient workouts. The doctor was aware the workload was a lot for one worker, and was in the process of hiring another employee. Even though the job caused a lot of stress, I believe it taught me to multi-task, be efficient, and work under pressure. The best way I deal with stress, is to see it as a challenge.…

During a question and answer session I asked if it was possible to run cross country and play basketball, and in a loud voice that went across the gym, a kid said “Why ask you’re too fat to play sports” and the whole gym burst into laughter.

    Paralyzed in Fear, Literally Before going to bed with my thoughts set on slumber, I never imagined the horrors I could unleash from my own mind. Gasping for air, I sat up in my sheets to examine my room. The sinister demons I had dreamed were gone and the weights pressing down on my chest had released me from my frightful imprisonment. I was still on the top bunk of my bed, with my sister resting at the bottom. The small television still sat to the top right of the room on its usual wooden desk and my heavily cushioned chair was to the opposite corner.…

    My experience of stress can be best described as a rollercoaster, steadily climbing and once at the top it can plunge down and back up and to the left and to the right, almost as if the stress is controlling the ride. Stress has changed over the years as well. My early childhood life didn’t include the worry of life, but the concern of self.
