I think every script I read has something that sends me into a state of panic but that usually makes me want to do it.

Every day there's a lot of things I block out, because if I start visualising things, I tend to go completely insane. I've always had anxiety issues, and it can totally overwhelm me and suck me under if I'm not keeping focused. I just think and think until I have a panic attack, and then it dies down.

The amygdala is indeed crucial for monitoring our environment and deciding what's worth getting worked up over. Once the amygdala determines this, however, it merely trips another circuit to actually produce the panic.

Yeah. I do get incredibly anxious. Almost borderline panic attacks.

I tend to spiral out of control if I'm not working. I get panicked and don't know what to do with myself.

Sometimes I panic and think I can't really write.

I was really worried that sitting at home by myself in front of a computer was going to make me crazy.

I can't play video games because I get too nervous. It just stresses me out.

I'm totally an anxious mess all the time. There's a constant dialogue going on in my brain, and it's just reminding me of all the failures that I have had, and all of the things I need to do, and all of the things I'm not doing good enough.

I've had paranoid panic attacks.
