Panic Attack

It always starts with chest pain Sharp pain that I can’t bear It radiates down my arms First thing I always think I’m dying My heart begins to beat Faster and faster I feel like just a little longer And it will fly out of my chest Like a bird trying to escape its cage My hands begin to shake My head starts to spin Like that boy you always see at the amusement park His mother says no but he continues to Ride every roller coaster he possibly can Pumping his adrenaline like it’s a damn game I feel like I’m drowning and everyone around me knows how to swim Every breath I take is harder to bear I feel like I’m gonna drop I sit down and suddenly it stops I can breath It’s done I feel relief But then I realize that there will be more oceans to swim and roller coasters to ride It’s not over And I never know when it will happen again

Hey Mystery Girl, the person you need to "Trust" the most, is yourself, this is the person you ALWAYS trust - well and way above all of the other shysters.....bipolar or not.

Mystery Girl, I have had one, once. It is not something you ever forget. Anyway, I have not, and you describe it perfectly. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I hope that you will stay and trust us with more of your heart.
