Erin had always been a very responsible person. Since she was a kid people would trust her to keep things in check. She was mature before her time. She lived up to the role, telling herself that if people trusted her with responsibilities it was because they knew she could handle them. However, no one knew that, inside that righteous personality, there was an insecure and anxious person.
She would usually suck it up, and pretend nothing happened, but there were times she couldn't handle the situation. The worst times it ended up in an anxiety attack. Erin remembered breaking into tears at work when the stress overcame her, failing to breath properly, making it worse. Sometimes she would spend weeks on the verge of an anxiety attack, always thinking she would end up mad. And as the stress increased, so did the anxiety, making her feel anxious in more and more situations. Making her want to hide in a place where none of the noise could get in.
