I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe.
distant blurry bleary
out of focus vision draining away
to blackout. out of myself removed from my body
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
tense tense tense; nauseous pressure in my chest
suddenly I'm Numb
an empty vacant vessel
my head is filled with gauze
I can't breathe, I can't think, I can't move, I can't hear
I can't feel.
Detached, disconnected, despondent, dead
divorced from reality with nothing
just dread and anxiety
a persistent refrain
muffled behind cotton fog
a distant urgent shadow
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I struggle with social anxiety and recently had a full blown panic attack. It was one of the most terrifying experiences in my life.
