This current state of being, A byproduct of my upbringing, To a shred of sanity I'm clinging. I'm condemned, I am ****** It's not like this was planned. Those pesky chemicals are a torrential rain, Carried 'round by cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, Are unbalanced, unregulated. I am agitated. Emotions now unchained. The feelings I suppressed Now a hysterical, pathetic, crying mess This silent monster is cunning and bold Has defiantly stepped over my mental threshold The more I try to ignore The more intense the outpour The heart drops into the stomach, Unpleasant pulsating in my ear canal I tremble uncontrollably I obsess over thoughts until they nauseate me Down a rabbit hole I'm going Due to insufficient dopamine and serotonin The ideas of inadequacy and failure are growing As logical a girl I am To these irrational thoughts I am ****** I attempt to talk myself out of it But my reasoning just won't fit No matter how hard I try I cannot find a reason why... At this point my heart is racing From the epinephrine rush, I am pacing Back and forth across the floor In and out the bedroom door You have no idea how happy I'd be To have a life of "normalcy" No matter how much I plead and plead This quiet monster won't take its leave At my wit's end, my sanity's gone, I'm all out of my Buproprion.

A typical anxiety attack, it is so hard to explain to people.
