(loud white noise)
(peaceful chords)
- [Voiceover] A panic attack goes from
zero to 100 in an instant.
- [Voiceover] It's halfway between feeling like you're faint
and feeling like you'll die.
- [Voiceover] If you miss a step on the stairs
and your stomach lurches,
(footsteps)
it feels like that, but lasts much, much longer.
(footsteps)
(thunder and rain)
- [Voiceover] Fighting for breath,
feeling like the floor's unstable.
- [Voiceover] Trapped in your own head
while floating somewhere outside, looking back at yourself,
wondering what you're doing.
(peaceful chords and water lapping)
- [Voiceover] A huge fist grabs hold on my insides.
My heart goes into overdrive, and
I go through the motions on auto-pilot.
- [Voiceover] Like when you're in a dream
and you're screaming but you can't make any noise.
- [Voiceover] Your entire body
is feeling everything and nothing at all once.
- [Voiceover] And you just wanna jump out of your skin,
get away from this feeling.
- [Voiceover] But I just keep thinking,
"This will pass.
"This will pass."
- [Voiceover] And it usually does.
(peaceful chords and gurgling water)
(whistle and creak)
