Anxiety

Imagine yourself, just sitting at the computer...when suddenly your body's on high alert. You're heart's racing and your mind's thinking things you really don't want to think about. Now you're stuck with them..and can't get away..so you invite them in, thinking, if you can go at them head on, it'll be over...but it doesn't end. It hits you hard, you're gripping anything you can get your hand on tightly. It keeps coming on until you're hopelessly sobbing. And then, it disappears, but only for a few minutes, or if your lucky hours. It hits you when you're in class, or eating with a friend, or, the worst, when you're trying to sleep. That is, if you CAN sleep. It's not easy trying to sleep when you're whole body's on red alert.

Yup, it sucks, and I've had it happen to me at least a couple times a day the past two weeks. It's disrupting my school, work, and home life.
