it just happens.

Anxiety. No one ever really addresses it. Everyone talks about the nervous feeling they get, usually just a typical feeling before a presentation or big event.

No one ever talks about anxiety and they don’t know why.

NO one ever talks about the anxiety about being around a group of people. About getting in a car. Anxiety about making a decision. Or just simply being bumped into by someone.

I guess no one talks about it because they don’t know why it happens. It just happens. No one understands why it happens, what causes the rush of the overwhelming feeling. No one can explain the feeling of a thousand butterflies flying as fast as they can inside of your chest. No one knows why your throat feels as if any second it’s about to close. No one knows why all of a sudden the room starts spinning at any moment without anything even going on. No one knows why you’re crying. It just happens. 

No one knows why, but it happens to so many people. When it happens, you feel like you’re alone and you can’t understand why no one else seems concerned. But you’re not a no one. If you think you’re a no one. You’re a no one that belongs with everyone. 

Just breathe. When you feel like your about to collapse, when you feel like you’re about to die for no clear reason. Just breathe. When you feel like you might be having a heart attack with no past history. Just breathe, when you feel like you can’t go on any longer, just keep going cause you can. There’s nothing wrong with you, you’re not sick, you’re not stupid or anything else. It’s called a panic attack. and it just happens.
