Can't breathe.
Heart racing.

Calm down, calm down.
You're okay.
I'm not okay.
Focus on the clock.
Just stare at a number.
Calm down, you need to breathe.
I can't calm down.
I'm letting them down.
I'm a dissapointment.
They're going to be mad again.

No, they won't.
They'll understand.
They'll put me on meds.
      I'll be the girl with the panic attacks.
            I'll have less friends than I already do.
                  They'll  call me crazy.
None of that will happen.
You'll get the help you need.
No more paperbags kept in your backpack.
I'm going to be okay?
Yes.
I keep having panic attacks more and more frequently, I just had about two in the last hour, and then I wrote this.

...I really want to say some stuff... but... I don't know if it's my place to do so, being an internet stranger and all...

Take this with the grain of salt it deserves:

The friends who would cast-off your friendship due to you being in distress would be complete jerks, and thus, not worthy of you.

There. I said it. 

Best wishes ~
