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.

An anxiety attack can be very scary, you feel all alone in your own isolation, and you truly feel that no one understands you. Sometimes there is too much in your life and in your path, you just can not handle it, but I know you're strong sweetheart. I just know, for I know you and see you always getting out of it... just hold on to that strength you have in you.

I know how this feels, and it can tear the inside so badly. I know that deep inside your voice is always calling you to your positivism, and it will pointing you into the right direction ...

beyond all that, I appreciate your poem here fully, I can identify with, for multiple more who can I see, I appreciate the courage, and honesty you share this item.
I personally always wish you the best, even though sometimes I can not reach you,
Then we talk in silence, for I'm sending you each time new wings. :) and there is trust.
I'll always trust in you, because you know that you are for me one of the most beautiful souls I know.

This poem was beautifully crafted, no need to repeat a single line, for they stand all out in perfect quotation.

Wishing you nothing but the best...

Lots of love,

Dear big Sis,

Your words touched me in a deeper level. I am grateful with that always. You have hit what i wanted to everyone to feel. With this problem its always makes me feel alone, isolation is the result. I guess I needed to remind myself that I am stronger than what I think I am weak. Actually I wanted to write something happy or just content for my bday tomorrow but I end up making this piece. I was planning to write this last past few days because that’s what I was feeling, the distress & worries, the loss of appetite even though my stomach is hungry – just wanted to sleep my worries away. I was ever silent and some activities makes me loss interest like wc (I have closed my account at that time) or other leisure plays doesn’t interest me anymore. With all that I still pretend, I work like nothings bothering me, and wearing a fake smile. Maybe I am strong because I was able to pretend and be patience of what’s going on. I pray and pray to give me strength and confidence I need to stand up for what’s right – and I thank my faith for that and the support my friends gives me(you included). The fact that I worry too much, it gets me all the time. I guess I was able to stand my depressive state by sleeping a lot or just enough rest and balance state of mind. I listen to the voices arguing and debating – I end up nothing to decide on which I will choose but through all the painting time I spend last few years I build up a long patience in things like this. Continue on my talk tomorrow, I am tired… see you big sis…

Tight hugs

Into a slumpy Winnie.:
This poem tells it like it is . This stage of emotional distress and extreme anxiety attacks from different reasons which needs an attention and healing before it gets out of hand. I think some things we can control and some things we can't . A very raw piece of emotional journey...Excellent...:)
