*What many of you don't know about me*

Many of you know me, but do you know that I often suffer from panic attacks? Probably not, unless you've read my Facebook posts. Anxiety is caused by stress and uncertainty. At times, I find myself so anxious that my heart beats so fast that it feels like it's going to pop out of my chest. This happens when I think too much or have unhappy thoughts. At other times, nothing provokes my anxiety, it randomly occurs. The worst thing that can happen when panic comes my way is that I puke. I've learned to take deep breaths and control my anxiety by relaxing or laying down. I feel the worst when my throat begins to close up or knot up. Thankfully, I haven't had a full blown panic attack in two years. I do find myself feeling the symptoms, but remember to control my breathing. Concentration is everything.
