Just had a panic attack in the library. All of the sounds got too loud and overwhelming. Suddenly I hated all of the faces and all of the voices and everything was suddenly too much. I bought an iced chai tea in comfort. But then I hated all the faces there, too. I was so overwhelmed. I didn't want to be here. The eye contact sent my heart pounding. My head was light. I went outside. Fresh air will do me good, I told myself. The dizziness didn't stop. There were so many people outside. I didn't want to be here.
I stared at the bus schedule. I wanted to leave. I still want to leave, but I have class in two hours. I decided that instead of going home, I had two hours to get my shit together. I have two hours to get my shit together. I have two hours to get my shit together.
I'm in the outskirts of campus right now. Just the sound of little murmurs and the whirring of a lawnmower tracing the grooves of the quad. I'm going to admit. I'm a little scared of going back there. Back to the library. With all the people. I don't know if I want to go back there. This is really difficult. I don't understand why I'm dealing with this. I don't understand why this is happening to me. I just can't handle it right now. I don't want to go back there. I'm so scared of going back there.
I couldn't find a place outside where there were no people and I wanted to cry. I found a bench that seemed quiet enough and that's where I am now. I got to catch it before I started crying. But I came really close.
I don't know why I'm so scared. But I'm so scared. I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back. It's too much. I don't understand WHY it's too much. But suddenly, at this one moment, it is. And I'm terrified. I'll figure it out later. First, I need to get through this. That comes first. That comes first. I have two hours to get my shit together.
God, see me through this.
