Panic disorder

their eyes made me wonder how could I come back here with my own family one day and feel safe. Now a day we see in the news horrible things especially in this country but I do know the certain precautions that need to be taken to avoid such moments of panic and fear. One day I will go visit until then Colombia stays in my heart with a fearful memory and a place I have not visited for almost 20…

and instead, fled to the bathroom where I panicked, sobbed, and concealed myself for over an hour. When I finally felt better, I found my friends and everything was perfectly fine for the rest of the evening. For me, anxiety, and the correlating panic that comes with it, can happen anywhere. There’s no real way to stop anxiety from attacking, you just have to learn to…

in the way. Fear is this adrenaline that runs through ones body not knowing what to do next. People can act upon fear in two ways; run from it or face it. Fear can eventually turn into a phobia. Depending on how progressive your fear is, making one panic, by just seeing someone or hearing about someone who is in an incident that one could be afraid of (McGill, 2015). Fear is an anxiety of what might happen; fear is caused by the unknown, the dramatic events that have occurred in our lives, and…

“Where fear and weapons meet--and they often do in urban America--there is always the possibility of death”. "They made me terrifying. Now I'd show them how terrifying I could be." Brent Staples the author of these quotes show a huge transformation from “Black men in public spaces” and “Parallel time”. Brent Staples opens “Black Men in Public Spaces” describing his first encounter and victim as h also does in “Parallel Time” by chance both incidents are, with well-dressed white women. “My first…

groceries, they literally waste away in their homes. The pattern becomes self perpetuating; the more time elderly people spend at home, the more TV they tend to watch, and the more fearful they grow” (45). People are being deceived into living in panic that turns people into becoming paranoid of the silliest things. Fear is used as a tool in our society to oppress negative thinking, which is used to confuse matters and make people over…

You know that feeling you get when you are terrified out of your mind? You know, the sweaty palms, like an elephant is sitting upon your chest, your eyes as big as golf balls, your brain saying, what are you thinking?! That exact feeling of fear is what I used to have until I learned a lesson I will remember for a lifetime. Fear can stand for one of two things; Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise. We flashback to the summer of 2011. My family and I decided to begin our first of…

I never expected to be here. If you asked me four years prior to where I am now, if I wanted to go to college and study nursing, the answer would’ve been no. From me being loud, obnoxious, disrespectful and disobedient to failing every class and having over 40 absences, I did not even think about college. On the brink of failing the ninth grade and having a disciplinary record longer than my school transcripts, I had my first anxiety attack. As I was gasping for air while thousands of…

fair. Each of us took turns picking what rides we were going to go on. The 20 swings twirl around at different speeds and altitudes, was what my sister wanted to ride. We waited in the short line, and then quickly choose our seats. I started to panic as the ride began, the gray swings went faster and slower, and I could hear the metal chains grinding.

been a 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. A doctor or therapist is most the time your only option but sadly all they can do is put you on anti-depressants; which is not only bad for you, but they are also highly addictive. I’ve seen, what I thought was silly at the time, ads…
