Panic disorder: a psychiatric disorder in which debilitating anxiety and fear arise frequently and without reasonable cause. My chest was red hot, my eyes bloodshot, my brain frenzied. It felt like I was going to start screaming. No pills to take, breathing method wasn’t working. What am I going to do? Are people looking at me weird? Am I doing something wrong? What is wrong with me? A simple action like raising my hand was like pushing a boulder up a mountain. “Excuse me, Mr. _______. May I go to the restroom.” I spoke out.
