Theres no oxygen in my lungs. I'm breathing so fast that its as if I'm not breathing at all. The only thing I can hear is the sound of my breathing. Its so loud its almost deafening, but it also sounds so weak and helpless. Its like I'm paralyzed. I can't think, I can't move. All I can do is feel. This overwhelming fear. Everything I could possibly worry about rushes through my head with lightening speed. I can't focus on anything. Its as if the world is miles away and I'm looking at it through a glass window. I can't feel my body, and yet I feel everything. I feel like I might pass out or die, if I don't start breathing normally. But its like I have no control over my own body. I can't control my breathing. Not that I could stop focusing on this overwhelming fear long enough to even attempt to.

I think I'm going mad. I don't feel like myself. I feel like I can't hardly think. Its like I've been pushed to the background and all I can do is see and feel what my body's going through. I don't know what to do. What is going on? Why is this happening? I was basically fine a few seconds ago and now I can't get any air.
