Aaron became the only breadwinner in the family and he had to eked out a living by working after school hours/periods. Since then, he seemed to be overtaken by the extreme/severe anxiety and depression (more, the agitation). He was nervy all the time , worrying about his scholarship application , his mother’s wellbeing or the “haunting”/recurring medical bills. Everyday in school, he staggered around like a zombie with tormented soul. Peers started to isolate him as they thought he/Aaron was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia— the symptoms of which might have been attributed (subscribed) to his abnormal conditions. Being skeptical about people around him, his cadaverous face has shown (the) delusion towards the rest. He tended to connect things happening to fate and all of that has made him highly-strung. That is why there was a (one) time when he really ruptured his tensed nerve and that stopped him from striving for his mum and, his life.
thank you so much..  | It is a well-worded text with little left for correction. I have only made some minor modification suggesting deletion of a few words in brackets and certain alternative words in red. |
