Panic Attack
In, out, in, out!
Thump
thump, thump
A rush of silence floods your ears
A hush whimper escapes your lips
A flush of tears released from your eyes
In, out, in, out!
Thump
thump, thump
Struck by lightning your nerves go on lock down
Stricken by fear your muscles recoils into its self
Smashed by hopelessness your brain seizes itself
In, out, in, out!
Thump
thump, thump
With no hope or faith
You will meet your fate
Slowly you began to fade into that dark, deep unknown sea of despair
You no longer can breath In, out, in, out....
You no longer hear your own beating heart thump-thump, thump
In, out, in, out!
Thump
thump, thump
As time stops
You feel at peace yet alone
Then with out another thought
Gradually your beating heart begins to make itself know
Your lungs are able to take that much needed breathe
For your soul sees that beautiful guiding white light
In, out, in, out!
Thump
thump, thump
Your brain finally lets you back in, to take control once again
Muscles start to uncoil, and their pain becomes known
Your nerves begin to tremble and shake
In, out, in, out!
Thump
thump, thump
The river of tears you have shed dry upon your reddened cheeks
Your cries are quieted
And then harsh sounds around you flood your ears
In, out, in, out!
Thump
thump, thump
Slowly and painfully you become aware that this was just another one of your Panic Attacks.
In, out, in, out!
Thump
thump, thump
Thump
thump, thump
A rush of silence floods your ears
A hush whimper escapes your lips
A flush of tears released from your eyes
In, out, in, out!
Thump
thump, thump
Struck by lightning your nerves go on lock down
Stricken by fear your muscles recoils into its self
Smashed by hopelessness your brain seizes itself
In, out, in, out!
Thump
thump, thump
With no hope or faith
You will meet your fate
Slowly you began to fade into that dark, deep unknown sea of despair
You no longer can breath In, out, in, out....
You no longer hear your own beating heart thump-thump, thump
In, out, in, out!
Thump
thump, thump
As time stops
You feel at peace yet alone
Then with out another thought
Gradually your beating heart begins to make itself know
Your lungs are able to take that much needed breathe
For your soul sees that beautiful guiding white light
In, out, in, out!
Thump

Your brain finally lets you back in, to take control once again
Muscles start to uncoil, and their pain becomes known
Your nerves begin to tremble and shake
In, out, in, out!

In, out, in, out!
Thump

I can relate to this. having had issues with anxiety over the past 6 months. I seem to always be aware of my heartbeat now and before I had a stroke the only time I could feel my heart beating was when I had been doing something altheletic or work that seemed like it wasn't worth the pay they were giving me to do it. I feel every word of this! jj

Thank you JJ! I know there are a large amount ppl who have attacks and it sometimes is so hard to explain what and how your feeling at that time, so I am glad you were able to feel it! :) Tezza
