I love the topics. It really shows a struggle and how you overcame it...very personal. Just nit picky things...first you said "attack panic attacks" I would recommend finding a different word to describe how you conquered panic attacks so it sounds less repetitive. Also the first paragraph is too full of cliques which is a PS no-no. I would find a more creative way of saying "rollercoaster ride" "hand in the white flag" and change the first line. Its just a little corny. Other than that I think you're off to a great start!

Too much talk about anxiety. You need to talk about how it led you to law school. "I conquered anxiety, I can conquer law school" is not enough. I'm sure you have a story but right now it feels like anxiety anxiety anxiety aanxiety I wanna go to law school.

I had a similar topic (overcoming an obstacle) but scrapped it entirely. Put yourself in their shoes. Talking about how you were diagnosed with a condition and overcoming it does not really make the case for you as a potential student. I know some will disagree but you need to talk about how you can contribute to the school or make an impact afterward as opposed to "I will do good in law school because I overcame a medical condition."
