My panic attack

The world is heavy. The air is thin. Everything is out of focus. Your chest is tight. Desperate for breath (even-ness pls). Your hands are shaking. Your feet feel numb.

Focus focus focus … the world is NOT going to end … everything is OK … are you going to end?

Ambulance?

You are safe … breathe.

Reevaluate life.

Death, would it matter?

Who would care?

Who would notice?

Me!

Am I worthy? Yes!

Focus,

Am I safe? Yes!

Focus, breathe,

Am I overreacting? Probably! (no-yes)

Focus,

Can I see clearly? No!

Focus more!

Breathe,

One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten …

Focus,

Breathe, (slower)

Touch, talk, listen, see, feel,

Where am I?

Why am I here?

How did I get here?

(Car, meeting, work, bad)

Water,

Breathe,

Touch, car/water bottle/tissue/phone

Talk, reach out/ask for help/facebook/phone call,

Listen, breaths/friend talking/car running/Air con high,
