Panic
Okay, so in gym class today, my class had to use equally-spaced tire swings to swing from one point to another all the way on the other side. When my turn came up, I was nervous because I'm afraid of heights and of falling, which was a big possibility considering how uncoordinated I am. So, I made it about halfway, and the entire time I'd been trying, I was hyperventilating because I was getting dizzy and my muscles were freezing up. I almost fell four times... which made me freak out even more. I never made it to the end of the course by the end of class. While I was walking to the locker room to change out of my gym clothes, I had to hug myself to keep from shaking anymore and I started crying. I must've looked pretty stupid, but I was petrified. I'd never been so terrified of anything in school before... and I feel ridiculous because of it. Hopefully when we get to swinging from the damned rafters in the gym, I won't pass out. I probably will though, because the ceiling of the gym is about twenty feet off the ground. Oh joy.
