I'm nervously sitting in the classroom,
bouncing my leg,
while taking a test.
I'm stuck on a question,
racking through my thoughts,
trying to figure out how to solve it.
I get anxious,
overthinking about this simple question,
Criticizing myself for not remembering how to solve it.
I set my pencil down,
and try to wipe the sweat off of my palms and onto my pants.
My breathing starts to get shaky,
and tears begin to cover the rims of ny eyes.
I try to breath,
as I feel the room beginning to close in on me.
I try to breath as my throat closes up, and all I hear is my heart rapidly pounding in my chest
My mind gets hazy,
while I try to focus on my surroundings.
I get out of my chair and begin to hurry out of the room,
trying to not run into other desks.
The teacher looks up from her book and says, "Excuse me, where are you going?"
"I-'m sorry ma'am. l just need a minute, please,"
I desperately say.
I open the door,
and run down the hallway to the bathrooms.
I push open the door,
and slide down the wall with tears streaming down my face
I cover my head and try to do my breathing exercises.
But nothing works because my mind keeps blanking and my breathing becomes more constricted,
My mind races.
Why cant i do this?
