“Anxiety is a tension that occurs when people perceive danger in a situation” (Abigail & Cahn, pg 214). Anxiety happens when people fear things about situations such as, people conflicting with their goals or when they feel wrong about their own actions. Anxiety can also lead to suppressed issues.
When I was in the 4th grade I had a math teacher that used to pick on me in class. For no reason, she would make me cry in front of the other students. Math has always been a subject I struggled with the most, but I was a huge over achiever and wanted to make sure that my grades were perfect. Every night I would stay up with my father trying to do my math homework. My fear of my teacher caused me to spend way too much time perfecting my homework. I would end up going to bed with major anxiety, unable to sleep because I was so stressed out about my math homework. This was a cycle that continued for several months until my mother found out about my teacher harassing me and nearly got her fired.
