This is bad.
I've been feeling panic attack-y all day, like I'm on the verge of one, but it's not going to come. I can't breathe, my chest is tight, my heart is racing, and I'm getting the tunnel vision. The worst part for me is I feel the urge to SI right now, but I just can't, but I want to, but I can't, etc... It's a cycle. I know the stuff that's stressing me out will pass, and I'm trying to console myself with that, but I don't want to console myself. I want to bite a huge chunk of flesh out of my leg. I want to so badly. Instead I've been scratching at my head all day long and making little cuts in my scalp (I know that's SI, but it's not as bad) and picking at my lips and gums and scratching my face to relieve that tension and desire. It's not working. I'm going to try to call a friend and see how I feel after talking to him.

Sorry you are feeling like that. I think it is great you have someone you can talk too offline. The important thing is you are doing your darndest to fight the urge which is a big thing in itself. Keep us posted and hope that how your feeling will pass soon.

Hang in there. As you said, the stress will pass, but that thought doesn't make the here and now any easier. I hope your offline friend was able to help you

Well, I called him. He really took my mind off of everything that was happening. I calmed down, but I still wasn't able to sleep right.
 Oh well. The silver lining is that this day compared to yesterday looks bright and shiny and new, even through tired eyes. I'm proud of me.
