Tinkerbell was a very special fairy. She had pixie dust that could make anything fly. She was beautiful, with blonde hair and big eyes. Her best friend Peter Pan, took care of her-- and vice versa. Peter had helped Tinkerbell through her hardest moments, and Tinkerbell was always there for Peter when he needed her. They lived the perfect life, harmonic happiness and care for one another.

In their life together on Neverland, there seemed to be no problems. The lost boys had fun and caused trouble, and Peter flew around London to listen to stories. They had a perfectly organized life, and all seemed well. There was only one problem with this.

Tinkerbell suffered from intense Panic Disorder. Panic Disorder is reoccurring and unexpected panic attacks. Panic attacks are sudden periods of intense fear that come on quickly. Attacks can occur unexpectedly or can be triggered by a feared object or situation.

When Peter flew to London to listen to stories, Tinkerbell would always tremor with panic. Her heart and body so small, her entire body trembled and it was painful. As a fairy, she could also die from not getting enough attention. With Panic Disorder, this was even harder for her.

When Peter brought Wendy back from London to Neverland, it sent Tinkerbell into such a state of anxiety and panic that she started to get sick. Her panic attacks became more frequent as Peter seemed to forget about Tinkerbell. Tinkerbell tried telling herself she was just overreacting-- a small fairy has many feelings. However, it seemed harder to convince herself as the days went on.

Tinkerbell felt replaced. With every passing moment, Peter would spend more time with Wendy, and Tinkerbell got sick. Her panic would take over her multiple times a day, and she felt as though Peter had abandoned her. This made her feel even worse, and Tinkerbell thought she had completely lost her best friend and a part of herself.

Peter Pan seemed to have completely disregarded Tinkerbell. She got sick, and it was harder for her to get out of her little bed every morning. She had developed a fever from the lack of attention-- a common symptom for fairies without applause.

Tinkerbell finally spoke up to Peter about how she felt. Peter brushed her off and told her she was overreacting, and that her anxiety was getting in the way of everything. Tinkerbell stopped flying, and she fell to the ground.
