The questionnaire in NESARC only addressed how often the participant had used each drug in the last 12 months, not the reasoning behind it or whether the participant had a substance abuse disorder.

Widened eyes. Speeding heart. Restricted movement. Silence. I’ve come to recognize these signs as those of a severe, unexpected, and unwelcomed panic attack. Countless times I’ve seen these symptoms in my own mother, whose post-traumatic stress disorder prevents her from carrying on a job or attending my concerts and social events. Since the end of her career with the United States Navy, I’ve been the only person who can identify her frequent sessions of silent suffering. Due to her extreme…

bouncing, laughter, whispers, zippers, or headphones being too loud. I hear everything little thing around me and it gets extremely overwhelming.

In my case, anxiety is only a symptom of my obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). From either living in constant paranoia and fear of either contracting an…

long as I can remember. When I'm having a panic attack, 100 Kilowatts (that's 83334 potato batteries) are all firing through the water as the noodles pulse and burst under the stress, an array of neon foams shaking in unhappy waters. When I am having one of these panic attacks, there is only so much I can process of my outside world; I am stripped of the capacity to take in what's around me. Consequently, I cannot effectively communicate during an attack. Whirling, my thoughts travel around…
