Welp. Had another panic attack today. Meh....
BUT! I shall persevere. Obviously, I'm here, writing, so that's progress from the last time this happened. I talked to my mom about it today since it, literally, took me almost an hour to calm down today. At least, calm enough to be able to function and do my work. I got really claustrophobic all of a sudden (something that I've never really had a problem with) and I felt like I couldn't breath. It didn't help that the room I was in didn't have any windows, either...
So, I was talking to my mom, and she told me--derived from her 30+ years of working in schools--that strange things begin to happen to kids who are about to leave their schools and move on to the next step in their educational journey, whatever it may entail. And, yes, that includes bouts of anxiety. Even when you don't feel like there's something to be anxious about. There's some part in the back of your brain that knows you're about to take that leap toward full adulthood, even though you may not consciously feel nervous about it. There's an inherent nervousness that sometimes makes unexpected appearances in the middle of your psychology lecture, making you nearly run out of the room to the bathroom in a panic.
Oh, wait. That's just me.
Looks like just another case of senioritis.
