Dear MTT, Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I have so much I want all of you to know, but there is just not enough time, space or words to being to say all of it. Just thinking about all I want to say and what I am thankful for is making me cry. Everyone in MTT has done so much for me and it is truly amazing. As I am sure many of you know or have figured out, is that I have anxiety and I’m not talking about the average anxiety that comes with being in highschool, I’m talking about regular panic attacks and mental breakdowns. What you many not know is that because of my anxiety I am very shy. It may not come off that way but I am. Despite that, here I am at MTT ready to sing and dance on stage. It has not been me that has change myself, it was all of you. …show more content…
As we were approaching tech week I was already getting sad to leave the cast, thinking I would have to wait a long time untill I get to work with a group as amazing as they were and will always be. I had been thinking about that for a few days, when Tess approached me during Chinese and asked me if I was auditioning for MTT after school that day. I don’t remember what I said to Tess, but I spent the rest of the day debating if I should and being extremely stressed out about it. Then it was after school and I found myself outside R100 thinking it would be a good way to spend more time with people from fall play two. At the audition, I almost cried several time because I could not sing or dance so I had no clue what I was doing, but by some miracle I got through it. Looking back I know it was not a miracle but the positivity, help and support from everyone
According to Sharp (2012), “anxiety disorders are the most widespread causes of distress among individuals seeking treatment from mental health services in the United States” (p359).
The human body has developed a pain response in order to avoid injury. For example, if an individual were to place their hand on a hot oven, the excruciating pain would signal the nervous system to move the hand immediately before experiencing irreversible damage.
Anxiety disorders are the 2nd most diagnosed mental illness in the United States. Anxiety comes from the “fight or flight” physiological response in ones body. The fear a person experiences is an intense emotional alarm accompanied by a surge of energy in the autonomic nervous system. The surge is what motivates us to flee from danger, cueing the “flight” response. However, some anxiety is good for us in moderate amounts. Most people perform better when we are a little anxious (Yerkes & Dodson, 1908). Anxiety can improve test performance or make you more energetic and charming on a date. It improves, social, physical, and intellectual performance. In fact little would get done if we didn’t have any anxiety. However anxiety can be negative as well. The most common symptoms are looking worried and anxious or fidgeting. That is pretty normal for most people. These symptoms are a physiological response that starts in the brain. It elevates the heart rate and creates muscle tension. Most of the research has been done with animals. Animals seem to experience anxiety in a similar way to ...
Anxiety is defined as a diffuse, internal, loose floating tension that doesn’t have a real danger or an external object. There is also a significant difference from the notion of fear. Fear usually has an outer object (a real fear of a snake, height or an unreal fear, when the danger is just imagined). Anxiety does not have an external object or external danger but has an internal danger. Internal danger can be some intrapsychic conflict, impulse unacceptable to the ego, suppressed thoughts, etc.
How do people see the world? When communicating with others, thinking about oneself, and examining the world, each person adopts a specific lens through which they perceive their life. It has been stated that mental disorders like anxiety can dramatically alter this lens, shift a person’s worldview, or greatly modify their personality. It is my desire to study this phenomena and discover consistent differences in the perspectives of those with anxiety. I begin with a question: Do those with anxiety disorders bear a different and distinct perspective on universal concepts such as the world, life itself, and relation to others? Previous research seems to suggest that those suffering from anxiety disorders do hold these similar and distinct mindsets (Video).
From writing research papers till dawn to scouring head to toe for internships, plus the amount of student debt I’ll struggle with after graduation, as a college student, it’s safe to say I have a lot on my plate. With all these thoughts running through my head, I think it’s even safer to say that I’m stressed. In fact, I’m more than stressed. I’m constantly overthinking about lab assignments that may have faulty calculations. I’m holding back tears at the thought of failing my marketing class. I dread waking up in the morning. I am struggling with something worse than student debt and failed exams though, I am drowning in my own fear. Anxiety is similar to an avalanche, at first small and unrecognizable but over time without intervention it

Dear Admission Committee, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to request special consideration for my current academic circumstances, despite the lateness of this submission. Since 2020, I have been confronting a series of unforeseen personal challenges that gradually escalated in severity. Despite being diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in February 2023, I believed that I had overcome these obstacles and continued to push forward without seeking further assistance.
When you think of emotions you think of the classic, sadness, happiness, and madness. The one people often forget is the emotion of anxiety. Anxiety is one of the only emotions that you can have and actually not show it. Anxiety itself is very strange, depending on who you are, and how your brain works, anything can cause it . Anxiety usually follows you throughout your life but for some people, it changes as you change and grow. You aren 't the same height as you were when you were 6, you grew. There’ s a chance that the anxiety you encounter works the same way. Some classic emotions remain the same throughout your life for the most part, but anxiety as a tendency to morph.

I slowly walking through all the people up to the desk where I needed to sign in at and I seen my friend was signing in at the
Patient anxiety is a problem that people in the medical imaging field deal with every day. Patient anxiety is very common and can be increased by being in a hospital setting (Acuff, Bradley, Barlow & Osborne, 2014).”Many medical examinations can be affected by an overly anxious patient, with unwanted side effects such as motion, resulting in reduced image quality (Acuff et al., 2014). In this study there is an attempt to reduce patient anxiety in PET/CT by improving communication with the patient by using a “hand held call device” (Acuff et al., 2014, pg 212).The authors “hypothesized that the use of a tangible device enabling improved patient- to – technologist communication will have a positive impact on reducing patient anxiety for PET/CT imaging (Acuff et al.,2014, pg 212).
Although I’ve spent the majority of this talking about how thankful I am for you, (I'm sorry) I also want you to know that I am always here for you whenever you need it. Gir advice, I gotchu, life advice, someone to talk to, anything I'm here. I know I can be annoying, but I can't help it, so what I'm basically saying is get over
