If you have never suffered from anxiety/panic disorder, there is NO WAY you can even begin to understand how torturous and debilitating it is to your life. It is not something that you can just take a deep breath and calm down. It is a malfunction in the area of the brain that controls the normal or rational level of everyday mundane and even miniscule stress - even something as simple as leaving your bedroom or your house. It can start as a low level, almost irritation like feeling; or feeling jumpy or jittery, to hitting you full force like a locomotive out of no where and you are in total and complete terror that envelopes you so tightly your body reacts with severe symptoms of not being able to breath, terrible chest pain, pins and needles all over your body, you limbs going numb, not being able to swallow, losing your hearing, your heart racing so fast and hard it feels like its going to explode, vomiting, massive headache/migraines, and totally overwhelmed with the physical, mental and emotional feeling that you are dying. It is mentally, emotionally and physically exhausting - which only causes it to happen more often and more intensely. I am so excited, proud, encouraged and touched by this young ladys achievement to reach such a mountain top!!! And it is obvious, given the lyrics of her song, God has been faithful to bring her through to her victory!!! Hallelujah !!!
