When I was little girl (3-7) I lived in Nashville and Franklin, TN (Had to homes one in each.) There were at least 10 warnings a year as far as i can remember. It was the most terrifying thing for me having to live through that.
I now live and have lived in NC since i was 7. There have been 2 tornadoes in the past 10 years. I know that is a very low number compared to TN but we also have A LOT of severe storms. Anytime there is slightly high wind or gray clouds i start to freak out. My attacks at the best is just constantly checking the weather radar. At it's worst My stomach is going haywire, I have a panic attack, I run to the safest part of the house and nonstop look at the radar, and I am 100% that I am going to die. I can't help it I've tried calming myself down and using my logical side of my brain but it doesn't work. It is so embarrassing to be a 17 year old and still freak out anywhere I am. I have had people tell me I am overreacting and I need to get over it. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. It is a crippling fear that just takes over whenever it is not sunny and wind free.
