panic attacks
Sudden periods of intense fear. But remember, you're not alone.
A day in the Life.
A seemingly “normal” day can flip in an instant. A single touch, thought or action can change everything. A loss of control if only for a moment can unravel your entire day, consumed by a singular feeling: fear. Many people experience fear, but in some people, fear isn’t just a worry — it consumes every thought and action. Fear doesn’t discriminate: age, race, sexuality or religion, we will all fear “true” fear at some point in our lives. This is what living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is like.

What the OCD cycle fails to take into account.
Obsessions. Anxiety. Compulsions. Relief. It doesn’t sound so bad like that, does it? In reality however, it’s so much more than what the obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) cycle appears to be. OCD symptoms vary so much — in severity, frequency, and how they appear to each person. For me, my OCD behaviors are in a constant state of flux. The more stressed I feel, the more anxious I become. The more anxious I become, the worse my obsessions are, which leads to an increase in compulsions. This then leads to low mood and depression.

How To Be An Independent Thinker.
Mind works on the principle of senses. What we see is what we think. What we hear is what we think. Even what we smell is what we think. It also works on the principle of what we have been through in life e.g. if I had a fight recently I will be angry on little things. So the effect of external environment highly determines the mindset of most people in the world.

Failure by Design
Every time he heard those sounds in the back of his head, only reminded him he wasn't yet dead. They say loser, they say wimp, they say everything that brings him closer to his own death. If he didn't ask for it then why do they pressure him on. On to the next level of insanity, the next level to never face anyone again.

Fear of Losing
It's terrible to lose. Losing a cherished toy when you're young is absolutely upsetting. Losing a close friend might alter the path of your life as a teenager. Losing a trusted partner is painful when you're young. Losses during infancy, youth, and adulthood can cause anxiety to become stronger with age and eventually turn into pure horror of losing someone you care about. Although this fear is unhealthy, it frequently results in actions such as violence, control, and manipulation that are not appropriate in a loving, caring relationship. How then do you get over your fear of losing a loved one?
