Document Summary
Polish: culture clash, bullied loving and supporting network. Bullied over: what i said, liked, did, wore, ate. I had no friends kids ran away from me during recess. Developed severe test anxiety: had to write test in a separate room because she felt like she was disturbing their peace and they would be angry at her social anxieties/social phobias peaked. Panic disorder associated with specific situations and still persists. Depression from failed relationships/extremely self-conscious about body image, depression is a result of anxiety. Stopped eating for a time was very thin, and exercised 5-6 times a week for 2 hours at a time. Getting involved, meeting people, more confortable in her own skin. Mcmaster and all its opportunities still having maladaptive ways of thinking. Much of what dr. day was talking about she could relate to. Serious week-long paranoia broke-down and went to mcmaster. Generalized anxiety disorder: extremely overwhelmed from the smallest thing.
