I'm a 17-year-old medical student. Let's call me DEE. I get scared when someone close to me gets upsets with me. I feel like they are going to abandon me. Someone recently told me that we should stop being friends, I freaked out and for a few seconds, I felt like I was suffocating. I get attached to people easily and I'm constantly checking that they like me or what I do. I want them to approve of me. When things don't work out, I panic. I feel the walls closing in on me. I recently started practicing yoga and it has helped me but it didn't fix me. I feel weak. I feel frustrated because I know I can do better.
