Rikke (25) Rikke hides a fear. A fear of death that from time to time hits as a pain in her shoulders, back or neck. It can last for months until it breaks out as an anxiety attack. "I wake of nausea or dizziness and cannot sleep. I feel it starts to tingle in my legs and I get up to drink some water, but then I start to freeze and shake, my teeth chattering, and I tense up all muscles. It's as if I'm inside something indefinable space not knowing where I am. Then I hyperventilate," says Rikke. "My boyfriend hugs me and sometimes I press my fingers into his skin to hold on to something. I cry and I scream, it can last for 30 minutes. Afterwards I can be quite red on the chest, because I scratched myself, and all my muscles are just as exhausted as if I had run a marathon."
