My breathing increases extremely and my chest starts to feel like an elephant sitting on it.

My skin feels like it's inside out and also on too tight.

Every noise is a thousand times louder and a thousand times more irritating

I cannot speak because my mouth cannot form the words I'm getting tongue-tied and angry at myself

I try to stay calm but I cannot do so I am having a panic attack. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
