breathe in 1...2...3...4
hold 1...2...3...4...5
exhale 1...2...3...4...5...6...7
repeat
repeat
repeat until the anxiety goes away
until your heart stops hammering
until your stomach doesn't churn
until your breath isn't rapid
until your mind calms
and you can move one

hands and brow sweating
hyperventilating
heart pounding
mind racing
hands shaking
wait!
close your eyes
inhale, hold, exhale
inhale, hold, exhale
clench your fists, release
clench your fists, release
take a sip of water
take a sip of water
open your eyes
straighten your posture
and begin speaking
you got this!
I believe in you!
just persevere
