unhinged grew up with it
silent
shy
always so afraid of people
not liking me
making fun of me

but then after my freshman year in high school
my parents made me move
and college seemed like a breeze
and slowly it's worked it's way out of my life





the best cure
just_breathe
in_breath makes the belly rise and expand
out_breath pulls the navel to the spine





is it people that make you nervous
or just life in general?

arwyn I shrink from
social situations.

crowds.
friends.
parties.

people close in
my breath comes quicker
suddenly I'm in tears.
screaming into my hand.

make it stop.
get me out of here.
make it stop.
I'm never doing this again.

Klonopin only goes so far.
I will hide in the back and watch people from the corner.
No one can sneak up on me.
No one can see me.
I hope.

I keep trying.
I don't want to be this way.
I want to be normal.
Am I victim of the digital age?
No longer able to connect with people?
Is it C-PTSD?
Is it both?

get me out of here.
