I'm going to try to write this without triggering myself... okay so lately I've been having this feeling.... the only way I can describe it is that I'm drowning because I feel as if I can talk to no one, express what I'm thinking/feeling to no one, console with no one, and I just feel lost. Drowning is the only way I can describe it.

And I just feel so frustrated... it's like.... being trapped in a clear, sound proof box where people can see you and you're trying to tell them that you can't breathe, but they just can't understand you and you do whatever you can to make them understand you, but nothing works. I don't know if this feeling is like the beginning of a panic attack (because I most often end up having one once I realize that it relates to my reality -.-) or what it is. I normally have it when... okay and this is where I trigger myself so I'm going to stop here. Does anyone else feel like this, and if so, when do you normally get the feeling?

I get something like this when I'm pushed from too many directions and juggling things. I get very hyper and I think I'm handling it and then it falls apart and I feel exactly like I'm beginning to drown and trying to keep my head above water. I keep trying to finsh the task and keep the panic down and it grabs at my throat and chest. Does that sound similar? I usually end up raving one way or another. Talking very fast, turning in circles, pacing. I was fired from the job that was doing this to me on a regular basis and although it's been difficult and left me afraid of the next job, I think it was a good thing not to be there anymore. I think it could happen anywhere the expectations are unreasonable.

I feel like this a lot... its usually when i am feeling overwhelmed. try taking some deep breaths, and prioritizing. if there is something that is making you anxious and feeling this way, and its not imperative that you get it done, skip it. no need to make life harder for yourself.

if you feel like you can't talk to anyone, then you could try journaling. i find that it helps immensely
