I can’t feel calm. My hands are clammy, my chest and heart feel fluttery, and I think I’ll faint anytime now. Is this panicking? It’s been like this for an hour now. 

It’s because I’ve been sharing some problems with a teacher, and we’ve become closer. Recently, I sent her an email about an assignment and she hasn’t responded (it’s only been 3 hours.) I’m feeling really anxious and paranoid right now. I think she hates me. She must be so annoyed with me because she knows all about me now. I know I’m being super irrational because she’s probably just busy doing human things, but I can’t shake the feeling. She usually responds quickly. All of a sudden I’m feeling impulsive too. I want to stop this. I have no idea what’s going on. I can’t do anything at all right now, my thoughts are just screaming that she hates me, but she’s the only person I can open to. Thanks to anyone who reads this! I’d appreciate any advice.
