So today I went to the beach with my bf. I have gone swimming in the ocean so many times when there are large waves. And I love it. But today, I got pulled under by a large wave. I was under for a long time, trying to swim to the surface. By the time I did, another wave came and knocked me back under. I came up and had about 10 seconds to get back to shore. I was so out of breath and more waves were coming. I somehow used every possible amount of strength in me to swim against the current in to the shore. My boyfriend was also scared but not as scared as me. I thought I was going to drown. On the other end, he was scared but thought we were going to be fine. For some reason I can’t stop thinking about it, and it’s really stressing me out.
