"It would get really bad sometimes, to a point where it's normal for your muscles to be so tense that you can't move... I felt that I was gonna have a stroke," she continued. "So it started in my fingers, I couldn't move my fingers then it was my arms, because I was so tired from, I guess, shouting and getting everything out, of crying. I can't breathe and my lungs were tired. My legs didn't move, and my stomach was so tight."

"When I have anxiety attacks, what happens to me is I tremble, I shake like crazy. I don't get stiff, I never experienced that. But it's a good thing you told me about this so at least I know if ever it were to happen to me or somebody I love," she said.
