Perfume Kiosk

I can recall a specific errand my mother and I went on in order to get furniture for our new home. I can still smell the overbearing perfume from the merchandise kiosk as I lay on the carpet floor next to it. My heart was racing as the employees from the Bed, Bath, and Beyond store came sprinting in fear towards my limp body. I remember my heart racing as if it was going to give out any second, but my face still pressed to the cold carpet that covered that portion of the mall next to the perfume kiosk. Panicked and unfamiliar faces surrounded me as I lay there for what felt like a long, helpless century. I hope telling this story can shed light on the importance of fighting mental illness, overcoming pessimistic thoughts, and receiving help for those with serious disorders.
