Panic attack

Panic attack- a sudden feeling of acute and disabling anxiety

First, your heart starts pounding,
Your chest starts tightening,
Your hands start shaking.

Second, your thoughts start racing,
Your vision starts blurring,
The world starts spinning.

Then, sheer panic.
You can't speak
Can't breath
Can't think straight

Your trapped
Your dying
You can't escape.

And your heart.
It's pounding,
Pounding pounding pounding so fast!
Surely your having a heart attack?

You can't breath
It hurts.

You grip at your hair
Claw at your arms
Feel the fast pulsating of your heart

Your gonna die.
Your gonna die your gonna die your gonna die!!!!

But then, something odd.

Your heart slows
Your hands stop shaking
The world stops spinning.

You breath. You can breath again!
You can see clearly, think clearly!

You can feel your heart slowly going back to normal speed.

You were never having a heart attack.
You were never going to die.

Just a panic attack. A stupid little panic attack.

So you sit there.
Wipe away the tears from your eyes.
You Breath
