She is twelve years old when she gets a panic attack for the first time. Since then, Naomi has been suffering from all kinds of fears: abandonment, loss, square fear, coercion and escapism. She is afraid that she is sick, that she will die, that she will disappear. “I was afraid of boys, but also for squares and at one point there was really panic. In the first class of high school I got so much panic that I ran out of class every time. I had the feeling that I fainted.”
Naomi makes her fear theater: ‘I am still looking for where that comes from’
