I was sitting anxiously on my bedroom floor, the door locked from the inside and the music blaring. I sat there with my diary open on the night that it all went so, so wrong. The floor was vibrating and I felt my world spinning dangerously out of control and there seemed like nothing I could do about it. I looked up at the mirror and saw myself shaking uncontrollably, tears streaming mercilessly down my face like an overflowing river. I felt so pathetic, so trapped but I knew I had no right to feel like this, it was my own fault. I needed help and I knew who to call: Kady.

Cut out the adverbs. The text is strong enough without them.
