Challenge
Lets shed some reality on mental illness. It's not cute, it's not a joke and it's not an excuse:
Write about a panic or anxiety attack.
I'd love to see poetry, short stories and glimpses into who you are.
Breathe
Can't breathe,
Walls are suddenly closing in on me
My vision is blurred and I'm losing my focus
'Help me I'm suffocating!' I cry out,
But no one can hear me
They're just staring at me
My heart is bursting out of my chest
Bum-bump-bum-bump....
I'm about to faint,
I can't breathe in this enclosed space,
My body feels like it's burning hot
Am I slowly dying?
Then I hear a voice say 'Just breathe
Let it out slowly.'
I listen to the voice and I let out a deep breath
And after a while my vision returns
And my heart beats slows down
The earth stops spinning from underneath me
Now I can breathe.
