Constriction. Like a weight on your chest that keeps you immobile. Unable to breathe, call out for help, do much of anything really. The longer it sits, the heavier it becomes until you start to sink into a deepest darkest you might not be able to escape from because you just know something in that abyss wants a piece of you.
It hurts for sure, but it is unbearably lonely too.

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
-Litany Against Fear (Dune)
