This can't be happening, no, please god, not right now! The long forgotten pounding headache is slowly returning. The blackness is starting to seep into my vision. I need to get out of here.
I quickly gather my school supplies from the desk and cram them into my book bag. Without a glance to the professor I rush out of the room. Quickly walking the long corridor I find the nearest bathroom and lock myself in a stall.
This can't be happening right now. This hasn't happened in so long and of course it comes back right when I started university. My vision is getting worse by the second and my legs are starting to get weak.
I tuck myself into the corner of the stall and sit placing my backpack onto my lap. Everything is starting to slow down, except for my heart. It hurts with how hard it's beating into my rib cage.
My vision is gone now, everything is black. However I can hear the roaring waters of the river by me. This is how it always starts. I can smell the strong scents of earth and pine and it's like I can feel them under my hands and feet as well.
When these "fainting spells" occur I can never see, I'm only ever allowed to listen and smell and feel. I've seen doctors and psychiatrists from all over and no one has given me a clue as to what happens to me.
A slight breeze cools my heated skin. Then I hear it, a branch snaps in the distance and my heart begins to pound rapidly. I can feel the panic rising in my chest.
Right as my heart feels like it's about to explode, my vision comes rushing back and I'm back gasping for air on the bathroom floor. I blink checking myself over and realize my nose has started to bleed.
I groan bringing myself to stand on my feet and quickly wipe the blood from my nose.
I need to get back to my dorm.
I need to call mom.
