Hands clenched so tight my knuckles turn white.
Face wrenched in tears.
Escaping breath not caught.
Rocking back and forth.
There's no reason. No rhyme.
Everything is closing in.
Noise is too loud and too quiet all at once.
I scream whispers of breath I don't have.
My body tells my brain I'm not okay.
My brain tells my body to panic.
My brain left my body.
I'm left in the crossfire of pain and terror.
I can't. Breathe. I can't fight. I can't do this. Please someone help me. PLEASE JUST HELP. I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE.

Hands clenched so tight my knuckles turn white.
Face wrenched in tears.
Escaping breath not caught.
Rocking back and forth.
There's no reason. No rhyme.
Everything is closing in.
Noise is too loud and too quiet all at once.
I scream whispers of breath I don't have.
My body tells my brain I'm not okay.
My brain tells my body to panic.
My brain left my body.
I'm left in the crossfire of pain and terror.
I can't. Breathe. I can't fight. I can't do this. Please someone help me. PLEASE JUST HELP. I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE.
I just had the worst panic attack of my entire life and battle with anxiety
