Displacement
(this is a month late because I read the date wrong)
I feel uneasy
It’s difficult to put into words.
I’m having trouble breathing
And these thoughts only get worse.
Theres a tense pressure on my chest
While my mind is a mess.
But yet, still,
I can’t express
Exactly how im feeling when i am asked.
“It’s just nerves, snap out of it”
I wish i could.
“Why are you so scared”
I don’t know.
“What’s wrong with you?”
I’m not sure.
Theres a disconnect between my mind and my body
No one sees it, but i feel it.
Mind blank, body shaking.
Mind everywhere, body still.
Overthinking
Being told i do this to myself because “im so negative”
Bawling my eyes out but i can’t point out what exactly made me react like that.
Why am i freaking out over something that happened 3 years ago?
Why do i run away from people and crowds?
Why do i like being alone?
Why am i always cancelling plans with people i love and instead stay home?

It’s okay, you’re okay.
Focus on your breathing
You’re just not in the best state of mind right now.
Meditate
Distract yourself
It’s not your fault.
Stop blaming yourself
Stop allowing people to tell you how to and how not to feel
Your may not be in control of your feelings right now,
But you will be.
This will pass,
It’s just an anxiety attack.
