Summary

In an endeavour to trace the Inquisition to its source it is not necessary to go as far back into antiquity as went Paramo; nor yet is it possible to agree with him that God Himself was the first inquisitor, that the first "Act of Faith" was executed upon Adam and Eve, and that their expulsion from Eden is a proper precedent for the confiscation of the property of heretics.

    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.

    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.
