MMA Fighter suffers from Panic Attacks
In a recent article UFC fighter Karo Parisyan revealed he had recently begun experiencing panic attacks and that it affected his training, performance in the cage, his very career. Apparently he is starting to overcome them or at least cope better. Karo doesn’t know when exactly his panic attacks started occurring or what brought them on.
I know exactly when my panic attacks started occurring, I know exactly what triggered them, and I know who was responsible and deemed it necessary to threaten and punish me.
I lost track of how many panic attacks I’ve suffered, I dropped out of my MBA program because of them and the words and actions of my classmates. There was a time I was afraid to get out of bed, afraid to leave my house, afraid to talk to people, afraid to ride the bus, afraid to go to class, afraid to walk across campus, afraid to speak, afraid to tell the truth, afraid to look at my class picture…
I still haven’t gotten over all those fears. I still have trouble getting out of bed and going anywhere and doing something… I still get worried on the bus or in a cafe and have to leave…
I know when my last panic attack was and what it cost me. Some people still refuse to believe me or refuse to care or accept the truth. They have their own internal logic and their own definition of fairness and equality and how you should treat a friend or a classmate.
You can’t be friends with people who deceive you, use you, deliberately hurt you then just shrug their shoulders saying “Nothing can be done” leaving you to suffer while they go off to party. You can’t associate at all with people that when you beg them to believe you, to help, to stop hurting you, just ignore you and leave you to die…
