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

Panic Attack
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.
