My Story (Victoria)

I’m a high school student now entering my junior year, this happened back in freshman year, if i could be honest i don’t know why or how i got just about the fear of everything. I’m afraid of heights, whats in the ocean, falling from the sky, spiders, insects, wasps, bees etc. Not many know, but last year I was seen as crazy, I was out on the baseball/softball field. There were tons of wasps/bees flying around and hovering near people, well i was in the inner shed, with my senior friends, a bee flew outside, hovered, stared at me, looked around then stared at me. For me I believe all insects and flying ones are after me, well it wasn’t until finally i stepped out to get the ball, it rolled out, i bent down to get it well when I did that I heard angry buzzing, or just buzzing, it scared me to a point I was running and screaming across the field swinging my arms and hands everywhere. And as I was running i felt them getting closer and closer to my long hair, and that day i used this flower smelling sweet strong shampoo and conditioner they must’ve been attracted to, but all i felt all i thought was i’m not dying today, and that was the fastest I ran one corner of where we were to the other side, and the field is huge, took me 3 min at least to get over there. I then thought oh god they are still after me so i hit the deck very hard but i was fine like i took cover and i was relieved, but also there were many people in that class, like 100, some thought i was crazy, others thought i was being possessed and some said i was like ‘inhumane’ and even after all that running i still felt i had to run and get away, but then the teacher came over and tried talking to me but i couldn’t speak. It was mumbles and inaudible. Then my one friend walked me down to the nurses office and i still was on edge. From the field we were on you need to go up the stairs to get to like 7, ya well i was running super fast, to a point i jumped from above the 7 step and landed perfectly, i even felt stronger too. That day was the most interesting. Then GET THIS the gym teacher called the nurse, the nurse called my mom and the teacher thought i was crazy, and believed i had PTSD and i’m like maybe but i don’t know, and its like survival kicked in, and thats the fastest i ever ran without feeling exhausted.
