anxiety attacks phobia fear myths
time time second seconds intensity increasing
often taking 10 long minutes to reach peaks
10 long minutes
seems
an eternity
of sliced
diced
seconds
lasting how long in eternity attack moments
normally within 30 minutes before subsiding seems
a cruel excessive normally chill shape changing reality
wear those shoes walk in those shadows spider web strands catching
attacks can be extreme making each isolated victim chill experiencing
feel as though fatally completely losing control or death fear dying
how do your physical symptoms feel deary?
described as similar to having a heart attack
a 30 minute heart attack at any minute striking
is to experience death fear dying
heart attacks multiple times at any times
is a terror needing specialist care cures

Hello, Terrance! Wow, wow, wow....this morning...I was impressed with the long chain of inspiration: 11 poems descriptive, eloquent, detailed and poetical as well!
I knew someone a few decades ago who suffered from panic attacks, severe panic attacks, when you wrote 'Panic Attack (Tanka) ' I had immediately intended to write a poem; inspired by your poem, due to the importance of this often misunderstood medical condition. Because I believe in the importance and necessity of trying to write this topic well, and because I have little spare time now, mainly weekends and public holidays like today, it has taken awhile to actually write the poems and get them right. Perhaps a few people will read them, understand, and spread a few ripples of understanding and supportive care when a sentive soul suffers a panic attack within their circle of social interaction.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
The poem 'Severe Panic Attacks', was inspired by my reply to a comment made by the poet Mihaela Pirjol, to the poem 'Panic Attacks Last Fly In Spider Web Caught How Long? ', and dedicated to the poet Mihaela Pirjol.
