Description
This week has been quite painful and stressful... To begin with, my very best friend wouldn't come online, and I miss our chatting so much, it hurts... Then, my research mentor gave me a difficult programming task that drained my energy for two days... Then, there are 4 exams I must take this week...
As everything piled up higher and higher, I can't even sleep, and on two days in the past five days, I slept for less than 3 hours... I'd even roll on my bed and cry as I hug Pinkamena tightly, but it helps little...

Then there is this terrible anxiety. Several times a day I would think about my tasks and disappointments, and the stress would rush in like waves, choking me. I would hyperventilate and I would get dizzy and my fingers get all tingly due to the hypocapnia induced by hyperventilation. Sometimes I feel like I'll go crazy. It's scary.
I hope this isn't a prelude to recurrent panic attacks in the future. I like sadness, and it makes me feel sober, but anxiety is quite awful, and it also interferes with thinking.

... am I going mad?
