abuseOh my gosh, that is so strange. A little more than a year ago I was going through the exact same thing. A lot of things were coming down on me at once. A heavier work schedule,graduating high school, my Grandpa being very sick. I started to have problems with sleeping. Laying awake for hours just worrying about my future (or lack of it). Unfortunately I chose not to trust in God (even though I had been a Christian for years, I had not applied it much nor did I study God's word) and not even to trust in myself. I ended up quitting my job and not graduating high school for want of two credits (even though I had a bunch of useless credits from Running Start). I am now just starting to get my life back on track and realize the immense amount of damage than can be done by anxiety. I had wanted to attend U-Dub and obviously that did not pan out. I was accepted to some school in Sitka, Alaska, but their stipulation was that I had to finish high school anyway. So now I'm in Fresh Start trying to get my AA in biolgy and my high school diploma at the same time. I feel so behind all my friends. I guess this whole, long story about my life was just to show you how damaging this stuff can be. Something that helps me is having quiet time before I went to bed. I read the Bible and a devotional book by Max Lucado. And then I get into bed and have a very informal talk with Jesus. My relationship with Him has totally deepened and I now have a passion for life I didn't use to think could exist. I'll pray for you and believe God will drag you out of this hell and give you His perfect peace. By the way, I thought the story was very well-written. It conveyed emotions so well that I was immediately taken back to the time when that was my reality. Great job! Keep writing! (it's what helps keep me sane:)

abuseHey, remember me? lol.
Wow, this was a little bit freaky to read, but it was written so beautifully in a way. You have such a way of writing, never ceases to amaze me. Care to continue the story?

abuseAnother reader of "A year in Spanish" here, lol.
Well this was good too, I love the way you can make your readers feel exactly what your characters feel ... I particularly like the bit when the character suddenly wondered if there was a God in this Universe. It was a very human and 'real' touch.
Just one thing - shouldn't "I lied there" (in the third to last paragraph) be "I lay there"? I could be wrong as I'm not totally sure about US English grammar - sorry to be picky.

abuseWow! I reviewed "A year in Spanish" and loved it, so I decided to check this out. I really like it; I can't wait for the next chapter. I really like how you depicted this person's little anxiety attack. I think it is very ground in reality and shows what really can happen to people. I think many can relate. Anyway, great story!
