Spiraling downward, fighting my way up, I feel something dragging me back down. I struggle against the pressure of the darkness. I try not to panic but this burning sensation is taking over my body, my mind. I tell myself I need to calm down and take control. My emotions are scattered all around and I try to find some relief by reminding myself that I am in charge. It isn't working. Why can I not get out of this? I close my eyes tightly counting to three in my head. One, two, three........I open my eyes as wide as I can but darkness still surrounds me. As I am about to give up, I see a dim light shining above.
