The fears I face I face at least one fear a day. My biggest fear would have to be hospitals and needles; sadly I’ve seen a lot of those lately. Learning to face those fears is something that I’ve always had a hard time doing. Doctors tell me that my fear should lessen as I get older but I see it staying the same or getting worse. Fears I feel are something that everyone has. It may be the simple fear of clowns or something serious like dying. I’ve had the same two fears since I started kindergarten.

When I know that I need to leave soon to go to the hospital it can feel like the earth is caving in on my chest. I can stop breathing and have to stop to sit down tons of times. My two sisters think that what I go threw is one of the funniest things they’ve ever seen. Every time that I become faint they instantly laugh and watch me as I go threw this awful pain. They have been able to see that my systems/problems have been getting worse. Doctors tell me that the anxiety I face is something I will most likely have for the rest of my life. Having this problem gets in the way of millions of things. I will never be able to donate blood, help someone if they have a cut or deal with anything that has to do with blood. It’s such a crazy Heiser page 3 thing to think that if one person was going threw an awful pain and they were bleeding I wouldn’t be able to help them at all. I hope that one day I get the ability to help others the way that other people have been able to help
