Hi Oprah,
My name is Kelsey I am 11 and have panic attacks, I just saw your show today on Panic Attacks, I have always wished for a kid to make a book on Panic Attacks since I am a kid too, I could relate. And I have always wished for a kid with Panic Attacks to be on a show and show how they feel about them and how to deal with them. I have them, I have Panic Attacs, and Anxiety, and it is very hard for me, as a kid. I just want to be on TV to show the other kids out there that they are not alone. I get shakiness, sweaty, and I want ,my parents, because I also Have Seperation Anxiety, it is very hard for me in the morning to go to school, and just face it, I cry, and when I was little I used to fake not feeling good, all because of school, and some people make fun of me in school. I was wondering if I could be on your show, just one more show for Panic Attacks please, its not that I want to be famous or anything I just want to show the world that its not that easy as a kid, so please think about it. I just wish I could be helped, and maybe this will, please give me a chance, to accomplish my dream for others.
Sincerely Kelsey,
