anxiety attack

My heart is in throbbing tone

My hands are as cold as stone

 

Sleepless, I become restless

Shortness of air, I become breathless

Controlling emotions seems helpless

An emotional distress

 

In the realization of my hyperventilation

I get dizzy and sleepy

My mind is on overdrive worry

 

Voices have strained my mind

And the Echoes have drained my body

Into a slumpy Winnie.

Author's Note

You’ll never know the feeling unless you’ve experienced it. Knowing it is part of healing it - a knowledge about it makes you aware on how to handle it when it attacks... at least that's what i know...

I had experienced it twice that i lost control of my emotions...
anxiety attack and panic attack have alot in common...
in symptoms they have lots in common...

Really we wont get how you feel unless we experience your that hard time. In our life often a time comes when we get trap into a situation from which we can not escape anymore. We become frustrated and are prone to this type of attacks. you narrated precisely.

I really hope for the best of yours.

I was watching "Iron Man 3 " a couple of days ago... and he experienced this throughout the movie... Good, you wrote the words down... better to cope then to remain bottled up inside a world of thoughts...

I personally have a habit of fainting spells, momentary blackouts, that grip me when I'm stressed. They feel exactly like this, with nausea and migraines.
Second stanza, my favourite. It's overall structure and words just put the feeling in my head.
So glad to be back to reading you, my friend. Hopefully I'll be reviewing more soon. *Smile*

The symptoms exactly you'd described and versed - great write Kabayan. But had you consulted a doctor ? It can be controlled by a medicine called Xanax just try and ask for Rx. I am just trying to help.

anxiety attack is something that i struggled with occasionally. when i was in school, i dreaded recitation as it causes me to panic no matter how prepared i was. today, anxiety attacks when i feel that my output is not sufficient. there are so may sources of anxieties that the mere thought of it would give me so much stress. simply put...i feel this piece very much pax.

Oh, your poem gives very strong image of how it feels...I know it, sometimes it happens to the over-sensitive persons...It needs time to overcome the condition of anxiety, It`s really so hard for all body and mind! it`s stressful, but after it, the peace will come as suddenly as the panic. I`m sure, and then you will see things in different light...Wish you feel good, my friend!

I just want to say that I only wish the best for you. I hope that you get out of that trouble soon. These are my honest words for you, Pare ko. I may change because I have to, but I won't forget that you are the first person who welcomed me here.

Well-penned.

Like what I have said, I have been there, reason why I understood you completely when you opened-up this kind of struggle. I am so glad (really glad)to know that you took my words and put it all like this : “ Knowing it is part of healing it - a knowledge about it makes you aware on how to handle it when it attacks”. You are doing it right, Paxie.

You know very well that I no longer want to stay in this place, but I am just staying to stand for something and I chose to come again today for this : HAPPY BIRTHDAY my friend!!! Keep going! Life is beautiful in some way, somehow, just keep living for others rather than for yourself alone, so you will fully understand that life is still worth living despite and in spite of the ugly that the world around us had given and is offering...
