In Rosey’s case, the important element of the antecedent was that students and teachers were scrutinizing or watching her. Unlike Rosey, Roman was anxious not about speaking in public but about looking down from the stage, which triggered the dizzy feelings that he feared would cause him to pass out or would provoke another panic attack. Furthermore, an antecedent (A) can be an event or situation that just happened, happened earlier in the day, or happened even last week or last month.
