Breen-

*THE NEWS*

Breen ran in the bathroom..faced the mirror and saw blood flowing through the scratches. She didn't remove the blood from her face. She kept watching it. She was fascinated by her own blood. Her mother came in and told her to put some water to clean it. Breen obeyed so not to look weird keeping the blood. She felt her skin burning as if she put some kind of spirit on the open scratch. This all happened when she was thirteen.

**********

Two years passed. Breen was doing fine. Until, this happened. She was at school during her math lesson with Mr.Watson and she felt this sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear. Her heart pounding extremely fast, barley breathing. She thought she was going crazy and that she's about to die. Mr.Watson didn't know what to do so he immediately called the school nurse and they took Breen in a special room where the nurse took care of Breen and calmed her down. The head of school decided to contact Breen's parents to let them know what happened.

As soon as Breen arrived at home she found her mother waiting for her sitting on a stool which is not usual since Breen is usually the first one to arrive home.
"Sit down Breen" her mum said. "Ms.Taylors called me today to inform me about what happened at school"
Breen lowered her head.. facing the floor. "What's going on Breen, for how long has this been going on?"
Breen sighed.."Mum, it's nothing really..don't worry about it"
"No Breen! I need to know! It's not about worrying...it's because I care about you." Her mum said in a soft but curious voice.
"Look....I've been feeling my heart racing a lot more than usual these last couple of months, and then this happened."

After an hour discussing and her mum taking notes on what was going on, she took Breen to a doctor. They found out that Breen suffers from panic disorers and beginning of social anxiety. Breen knew that there was something wrong with her from the beginning but she didn't know that it's this serious.
