  15. She had this sinking feeling… the one that start in the pit of your stomach and rises to your throat–the knot gets bigger and tighter as it rises.

  20. The light is up there. It’s pretty far away, though. Between it and me are layers of clear blue silk. They’re holding me down, pressing me down farther and farther. The cloth gets blacker as I descend. I can’t breathe; I’m just sinking, sinking, sinking…

    Emily
  21. I told you I wanted to dive into bed with you, and make all kinds of love. I imagine myself sinking, sinking into you, in body and spirit. We move together, and the more we do the closer we intertwine. Before we know it, we have become one.

  26. Plunging, falling, down, down, down. Farther and farther. It’s so loud, so very loud at first. And then it’s quiet. So very very quiet. And you will either float or you will sink. And if you sink, you will bounce like a man on the moon.

  27. I was sinking in the pacific ocean when i went there for a swim as I had forgotten to carry my water float that helped me to stay afloat for long times.Taking it was crucial as without it I just slumped bottom wards whenever my arms and legs got tired.

  28. It can be with a sinking feeling that people start telling you their woes, before the basic ‘how are you’ introductions are completed. Imagine a world where old fashioned protocols of introduction remain.

  29. This sinking feeling. It never gets better. It just gets darker. I still wake up every morning with the thought of her. Of what I could have done better. Of what I could have done to keep her alive. It’s all in the past, I know… but that doesn’t keep the nightmares away. Every morning it’s just me, thoughts of her, and another glass of scotch. I can’t imagine what it will be like when that bottle is finally empty.

  30. I have a sinking feeling all the time lately, it’s like “ah why can’t i get a freaking job?!?! or a boyfriend?”?” what the hell is wrong with me?” and that makes me depressed.

    However sinking also makes me think of ships, and titanic and leo and kate and that was an awesome movie.

  31. It’s what happens when I’m overwhelmed. Like someone’s dragging me under the water, and I’m thrashing and fighting tooth and nail to get out there, but I can’t. I’ve never been the best of swimmers but this is a different kind of sinking. I don’t want to drown, and I imagine I’ll scream until my lungs give out, but oh, I’d give anything for a lungful of air.

  33. sinking into the deep of my emotions, into life, friendship, love, childhood, all good and bad things, memories, suny days, rainy days, belgrade and trains

  34. Pre-Approved for a credit card. Every young person gets excited when they start getting offers like that in the mail. They jumped at the opportunity, with no idea what they were getting themselves into. Slowly but surely they were digging deeper into debt. Sinking lower and lower until they couldn’t see the top.

  35. sinking into the ever flowing downward dropping destiny forsaken movement of sinking nothingness, drowning dreaming into yesterday, gone gone gone

  36. I feel like I am sinking under the weight of all these responsibilities. Is there any way to come out on top of everything? The only thing to do is just work through everything in a steady way. I guess buried is better than sinking.

  37. There’s a sinking feeling in my soul; in my bones when the evil tells me all the bad you could potentially do to me. I try not to listen; i try not to hear but the voices scream so loud its hard to tune them out. It feels like I’m falling into myself, like my ribs are caving down on my lungs crushing me, drowning me in my thoughts and sorrow. And then I see you, and i lift from the depths of my emotion, and resurface into your arms.

  38. All I can see is the surface, slipping away. Reality goes, life goes… I’m sinking into a void, where I am just me. The relaxation of the breathlessness really soothes…

    Lindsey
  39. That sinking feeling in your stomach, when nothing has gone wrong just yet but it’s as if you can feel it. The verge of chaos or crisis. It’s like a premonition or a sixth sense as if your body knows what is coming before your mind does…

  40. the ship is sinking. Sinking fast. People are rushing to get off, save their own lives. No one thought this would happen.
