It started when I was an undergrad in the Faculty of Arts here at uOttawa. I had just turned 18 and was still living at home. At first, I didn’t understand what was happening to me. I learned later that the sudden waves of paralyzing anxiety that swept over me more and more frequently were “panic attacks.” They struck especially when I was on campus: in the cafeteria, in corridors and even in class. My heart would pound, I would redden and perspire and struggle for control. I was sure that people around me could tell that I was “freaking out,” which made things all the worse. |

The Dining Hall, what a change!
The new 24/7 Dining Hall opened its doors early on the morning of Saturday, September 5, 2015. We had to wait a good 45 minutes to see our first customers walk in, but when they did arrive, our first three diners were pretty eager: they had set their alarm clocks just to be the first to enjoy breakfast before going back to bed. We wish we could show you a picture of these first three guests, but their bed hair made them camera shy! |
