    Thomas Hood  was an English poet, author, and humourist, best known for poems such as The Bridge of Sighs and The Song of the Shirt. Hood wrote regularly for The London Magazine, the Athenaeum, and Punch. He later published a magazine largely consisting of his own works. Hood, never robust, lapsed into invalidism by the age of 41 and died at the age of 45. William Michael Rossetti in 1903 called him "the finest English poet" between the generations of Shelley and Tennyson. - Summary by Wikipedia

    Ethiopia - through writers' eyes

    Ethiopia is one of only a handful of countries that shock the traveller with their unique perspective. These places awaken a deep sense of wonder and offer a rare opportunity to observe the world from a different angle, to see things anew. Ethiopia: through writers' eyes is the perfect companion to any exploration of this idiosyncratic country, be it from the precarious saddle of an Abyssinian mule, or the comfortable folds of an armchair. A compendium of all things Ethiopian, with excerpts translated from writings in a number of languages including Amharic, the book peoples the land with a caste of priest-kings descended from Solomon and Sheba, and with many of the eccentric adventurers who have been drawn there: Jesuit explorers and missionaries, foolish would-be conquerors and writers of all stripes.

    Your heart is pounding fast and you are feeling dizzy.  It seems as though you have to sit down in order for you not to fall.  You are having trouble catching your breath. You are experiencing a numbing feeling in your hands and feet.   
    
    There is a tightening pressure in your chest area.  You think you may be on the verge of a heart attack.  You think something is really wrong with you; however, you are far from dying.
    
    Anxiety is a mental disorder in which a person fears just about anything and they think every outcome will turn out for the worst.  This fear is frightening because it is so intense and they always fear that someone is after them.  
    
    If you have any type of disorder that is associated with anxiety, then your mind will always be focused on being scared for no reason.  You will always feel that there is no solution to your unfounded fear and that there is no way out.  
    
    You feel paralyzed as though you can't do anything.  Basically, you are frozen with fear.  This disorder can attack at any time.  
    
    Anxiety disorder is more than just one action.  Anxiety disorder has different sub-disorders that can fit under this.  For instance, there are panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder and others that are related to the anxiety disorder family.  
    
    There are many people all over that suffer from anxiety attacks.  If you are not afflicted with them, you may know someone who is.  If it is you, you need to know how to help yourself.  If it's someone else, you need to know how to help them.  You will have to be understanding and help them to get the treatment and support that they need to combat this condition.
