Well, That Was Fun

So, I'm sitting in my class right now, breathing on the four count. Yeah, that's right. I just had a little panic attack. All sorts of old friends are visiting today! My lung squishing elephant showed up early this afternoon. I guess he followed me to school, cause about a half hour ago, WHAMO. Heart rate went nuts, hand went numb, couldn't breathe, yeah. Course, I've been shaking since Saturday night. This was going to happen eventually. At least it waited until I was off the road, and it waited until after the quiz.

Amazingly, a classmate also has panic disorder, so we've been comparing notes. I cannot begin to tell you how helpful it is to know in the moment that I'm not the only one.

There's still a good chance I might throw up, and I'm still shaking. I gotta calm down before I try to drive.
