Personal Narrative Panic Attacks

Improved Essays
I have never had so many consecutive panic attacks in my life. #Passion2017 was amazing regardless of the fact that I only got about 3 hours of sleep throughout the week. My body is exhausted from the tremors and uncontrollable shaking, yet my soul is stronger than ever. My spirit is alive and on fire. There is a renewed passion resounding within me.

    I don’t think that something as extreme as mass hysteria could take place simply because no one wanted to think for themselves. Rather than people agreeing with a leader because they feel like it, I think people worry about an idea and “flock to follow” a leader because they don’t know what actions to take about the problem themselves. If someone offers a solution to a problem that they’re not sure how to fix, then they’re more likely to concede and follow that person. If someone didn’t care to think for themselves, then I don’t see why they would care to make any decision of that regard in the first place.…

    I exited the lobby met by the cool morning breeze as I trudged a distance through the sprawling city to the bus stop, and picked away at the petals. The thud of heavy footsteps reeled me out of thought. The flower slipped from my hands as I pivoted around, but there was no one behind me. “Maricel, Maricel, Maricel, Maricel” A voice reverberated, in a cool, guttural whisper ricocheting off the lamp poles gradually growing louder and more threatening. I quickened my pace as my breath hitched.…

    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.…

    Anxiety is something I have always been accustomed to, and even some of my earliest memories involve that anxious, nerve stricken feeling in the pit of my stomach. I was always the shy kid in the class, something to grow out of once I grew older, except that was not the case at all. Anxiety and I have grown closer over the years, so much so, that I developed several crippling anxiety disorders that shaped my life and how I lived it. It came on during my high school years and it affected my school work, my home life, and just about every instance in between. I would wake up every morning filled with anxiety dreading the day ahead of me, and waiting for it all to be over.…

I am not sure how or why I was a shy individual, but it was a big stressor during my early development.…
