The day suddenly changes for her. She feels trapped. She is
unable to find an escape. Someone is banging a hammer hard on her head, another
person is strangling her. She is losing her breath, palpitating. Her hands are
shivering, she is sweating. She wants to scream out for help but she can’t find
her voice. Her head in thumping with pain, her chest feels like a large piece
of brick is placed over it. She wants to run away but she can’t move. She feels
no strength in her body. She feels hopeless. She feels like a failure. She doesn’t
want this but she can’t help it.
She finds the energy to get up and run to the toilet. There,
in a closed space, with no one to see, and no one to hear, she cries her heart
out. That’s what anxiety did to her. That’s what anxiety does to her, every time!
