Panic attack

Breathe.
Keep moving forward
Don’t let go,
Close your eyes, don’t let it catch you
Breathe.
My body shuts down and refuses to relax
My throat wants to scream
And then I realize that this is a panic attack
 
Calm down,
Don’t think
Just breathe.
In,
Out.
 
Hold on,
 
My body is numb as a fear grips me
Stop.
But I can’t
my mind is turning
My body shaking
My lungs refusing to take in air
 
Stop thinking
What am I scared of?
My eyes are flooding with black spots
My chest stops rising
and I don’t know if I’m breathing anymore
Stop.
Breathe
I gasp as my body finally listens, and takes in air
That’s all I needed to remember,
Breathe
