Shortness of breath

feeling like you have to run

feeling it coming on

Run.

run from everything

run from it all

run from yourself

your mind

anything and everything in life.

Run.

run, it tells you

can't run from your own mind.

talk me through it

counting my heartbeats while watching the clockhands tick past. 

15 seconds

28 beats

28x4= beats per minute

112

not a normal resting heartrate.

infinity cubes

shaky hands 

counting my pulses

27x4

108

still not normal for me

watching the clockhands tick

feeling anxious about the attack your body and mind are assaulting you with.

anxious about your own anxiety.

that's something, at least.

Worlds Smallest Violin-AJR

when you can feel your heartbeat in your fingers, you know its not a good sign.

run

run

run, you idiot, run!

talk me through this.

I love you

...

...

...

please don't go.

don't disappear and leave me here with this barrage of worry controlling me in my 6th and 7th period, schoolwork forgotten.

teachers voices drowned out

seeing through a haze of faces

the only sound being blood in my ears,

vision blurred except for this screen.

run

run

run

steady breathing.

talk me through this.

I love you. 

Pull me through this.

I love you

take me through this

i love u

GET me through this.

i <3 u 

but

I'm slightly scared

mostly worried.

very Anxious.

but my heart rate's slowing slightly.

my mind's clearing.
