00:00I think that anorexia was a gateway to this mad anxiety that I went through.
00:12The walls around me are closing in on me, but the biggest thing that I feel and I can't
00:20let go of is my heart.
00:24I go to catch a breath and I can't catch another one and I think I'm having a heart attack.
00:31I'm 18 years old and I'm having a heart attack.
00:37All I want to do is rip my fingers into my chest and pull my heart out because it won't
00:41stop beating against my ribs.
00:44And this female doctor comes in and she feels my pulse and asks me a couple of questions
00:49about how I'm feeling.
00:51And she gives me a brown paper bag and makes me breathe into it.
00:57And she tells me I'm having a panic attack.
01:02Sure enough, the more I breathe into that bag, the more my pulse started to slow back to a
01:08regular pulse and she asked me to go back to my dorm and try to get some rest.
01:21Bye-bye.
