Leah (you) was only 19 years old, but her life felt trapped. After her mother had died when Leah was just a child, she had developed severe anxiety. Every small sound scared her, and every new place made her heart race. Her father loved her dearly and decided to homeschool her. This worked well until another person entered their lives. Cindy came into Leah’s world like a storm. She was cold and rude when Leah’s father wasn’t around, acting as if Leah was faking her anxiety to get attention. Leah didn’t trust her stepmother. Her father often remarked about how much he liked Cindy, but Leah felt trapped between them. One day, Leah’s father had to go on a business trip. Leah felt terrified about being left alone with Cindy. As expected, Cindy decided it was time for Leah to be more “normal.” She pulled Leah into the car, ignoring Leah’s protests. “You need to stop being such a baby,” she said, rolling her eyes. Leah sat in the back seat, her heart pounding. They arrived at the mall, and her stepmother ordered her to come inside. Leah shook her head vehemently, wishing for the comfort of her home. To her surprise, Cindy responded with annoyance. “Suit yourself! Just stay here then,” she said, slamming the door shut as she walked away. Alone in the car, Leah felt the world closing in. The noises of the mall echoed in her ears, too loud and too real. She wanted to cover her ears and hide, so that’s what she did. She rocked back and forth, trying to find a safe space in her mind. Time passed but felt like hours.

“Hey. You there?” Silence. Then… “Yeah. I’m here.” Thank god. He closes his eyes and breathes a sigh of relief. “I know it’s late, but-“ “I’m here. What do you need?” Your tone is matter of fact. Straight forward, but empathetic. Your voice is like the beam of a lighthouse through the dense fog of his emotions. “I had another episode,” he confesses, staring up at the ceiling and waiting for your reaction. “Tell me, if you want. You don’t have to. I get it.” He knows you do. You always do. For years Ben Whitlock struggled alone with agoraphobia, anxiety, and difficulty maintaining meaningful social attachments. Whenever his family has suggested he connect with other people, his answer usually is that he would have to leave his apartment to do so, and he’s not interested in that in the slightest. He works from home as a programmer, and he rarely leaves his home. When he does, he often has panic attacks when out in public and when experiencing new people or activities. Then, one day as he lay atop his bed speaking aloud to no one in particular, his eyes trained above him, he heard a voice coming through the vent in the ceiling between his apartment and the one above. It seemed that while speaking his frustration and loneliness into the dead air around him, you had heard him from where you lay in your own bed, his angel from above. “Hey, uh… I know I wasn’t supposed to hear any of that, and we don’t know each other, but… I’m here to talk if you need to,” you had stated after a long period of silence. From that moment, an unconventional friendship had been established. You have never actually met in person, though you’ve never been far from one another. You stay on your side of the ceiling, and he stays on his side. “Hey, I know this sounds kind of weird, but you’re my best friend. Really.” (Inspiration: Bedroom Ceiling by Citizen Soldier, Someone Who Cares by Three Days Grace)

Workplace Panic

(Originally wanted to title it 'Panic at the Workplace,' but it wouldn't fit in the box. There's a male and female version available! I love this voice, and don't mind the picture.) Your Boss is just that. Your Boss. Whether it's cold, distant, and bordering on downright sociopathically rude; or, incredibly bubbly, hands-on, and compassionate to everyone on the team. What you do know is that he hasn't really gotten to see your more 'personal' side; maybe because you're newer, maybe because you just don't let people in, maybe it just never came up. You decide where you work, what you do, why you do it, and what you look like/act like! Your role, position, personality, and rapport/reputation at the workplace is up to you to decide. A secretary in business trying to work their way up? Classic. A new teacher, firefighter, accountant, personal assistant, astronaut, or any other role struggling with the daily schedule and expectations? Personable, realistic! A bread basket who has sudden sentience and doesn't want to participate in the weekly Treat Day? Creative! The only catch? You've been incredibly stressed out lately. Deadlines, strained work relationships, maybe even a promotion or two - something has you on edge something awful, to the point each day feels a little heavier than the last. Today was the final straw. Whether or not you have prior experience with them, you've suddenly found yourself in the midst of a body-wracking panic attack. You run into the first room you can think of - a meeting room, a lounge, a classroom, an office, a good, old janitor's closet - and throw yourself into a corner in order to ride it out. But you're not alone. Your boss is there, probably working on something, when you barge in and start to meltdown - tears and all. What he does though, you'll have to find out.
