experienced an unexpected panic attack. Liz’s first cognitive symptom was her fear of “going crazy” as a result of her adverse physical reaction. Her secondary symptoms of an increased heart rate and shaking are the psychical manifestations of a panic attack. Her fourth symptom of depersonalization was verbalized as “feeling outside of my body”. These psychical and cognitive symptoms fulfill four of the thirteen diagnostic criteria that categorize a panic attack. Her intense discomfort…

I owe a lot to Dan Cody former Oklahoma Defensive End. I don't talk about it much but I was diagnosed with severe panic attack/anxiety disorder when I was in third grade. I had trouble going to school because it would give me anxiety and make me have panic attacks. I learned to get threw it with help but the one thing that really helped me was football. I started playing football in 8th grade and then the time came to play at Westmoore High School. I went to offseason workouts for a few days and…

struggle for me, not only me, but for many others. Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease. In some cases it becomes so severe that it affects your everyday life. A trip to the store for example becomes a first class ticket to a panic attack.

I’ve seen, what I thought was silly at the time, ads on TV or…

When I think about anxiety I would say that my biggest fear was going outside after I had been attacked. When I was kidnapped, the men grabbed me right outside my apartment building. So, after this, even a year and a half later I was told by my doctors to start taking short walks. I was panicked and so scared. I feared everything and everyone. One way I learned to handle this was going for a walk and with someone in my family. This was one of the hardest fears to overcome. I was so worried…

Prior to reading this article, I knew very little about anxiety and its effects on individuals. I knew that anxiety causes people to be worried and nervous very often, and occasionally for no observable reason. I knew it can cause people to fear interacting with other individuals. I had a vague knowledge of anxiety’s physical effects on the body, such as rapid heart rate and accelerated breathing. I had no knowledge of what “The Anxiety Game” mentioned in the title was and no idea what it could…

There are some things in this world that I simply can't stand. Some of the worst are getting sneezed on, people clicking pens in class, getting homework on a friday night, and when someone leaves the bag of chips on the counter open and then the chips are all soggy and stale the next time you go to eat them. There's nothing worse than a wet juicy sneeze straight to the face. One of my biggest fears/pet peeves is getting sneezed on. Getting sneezed on is the worst because all the greams and…
