remember, your body right now is in "flight or fight" mode. this is one of the earliest traits we as humans posess, going all the way back to early man. when i get them, and i'm feeling i'm about to die, i just remember what *exactly* is happening in my body:
you've got stress right now, and you've been keeping it bottled in, and something has triggered it. your pancreas has just blasted your blood stream with sugar in order to help you cope -- by fighting...or running away.
listen to the people who are telling you to breathe.
your life isn't in danger. you're not going to die, choke, have a heart attck, or go insane. you're under a lot of stress right now, and you'll get out of it in no time.
just breathe, and relax.
