Anxiety during the day..

I just woke up, the sun is shining and I'm dreading getting out of bed for class. 

Do I really have to go? 

Will the professor take my anxiety as an excuse or still make me show? 

"I'm just not going to go," I tell myself. "But I have to go, I'm paying for it," I tell myself. 

My breathing starts to slow...

I'm trying to take deep breaths, but it doesn't seem to work. 

Then it begins. 

The tingling of my face.
The shaking of my hand.
The skin peeling around my fingernails. 
The aching in my stomach.

I can't make it stop. I can't breathe.

I don't feel like myself, but I have to get to class. 

If only the stress didn't affect me this bad, I swear I'd go to class every day.
