Thank you for being here

[Hidden]

Can't make sense of that. Are you arguing?

[MRawPR in reply to Hidden]

No I suddenly got the attack and he can’t help me

[Hidden in reply to MRawPR]

Just take a deep breath. Can you leave and go home?

[MRawPR]

What just happened to me was so terrifying

[MRawPR]

It started in the car on our way to the restaurant. I thought that once we got out of the car and walked it would get better but no. It got worse. We sat at the bar and I asked for water and I needed some carbs so ordered bread. I was shaking and dizzy. Next to me was this lady by herself who was looking at me like if she knew something was wrong. I was trying to breathe and tears down my cheeks. The lady put her hand on my shoulder and said : it will be okay. Breathe in through your stomach and count backwards from 17. I did and I started to breathe better. She is a panic attack sufferer all her life and 15 minutes before we got there she’d had had a panic attack and was feeling better.

What are the odds of sitting next to someone who knows exactly what you’re going through. It was divine intervention. 😢😁😐.

You wonder if there are more of us out there and we all just do what we can to appear ok in the midst of anxiety or panic. Such a finely honed skill to hide how we really feel!! Glad you had her support tonight. Someday you may be that comforting soul for someone else❤️

[MRawPR in reply to Coloradowalker]

You are absolutely right! I hope I can be a comforting soul some day.

Same thing happens to me when I least expect it. Hope you feel better.

This also happens to me whenever I'm out in public. Especially eating. For me it's like "you have to sit down, you cant move" and then boom. My mind races. I have to be on my phone to preoccupy my mind. Unfortunately, my boyfriend notices the phone (of course).... even though it's tough, and very much unfortunate it's so nice to my heart knowing someone else has these things they deal with. I'm glad you got thru it.

Maybe this will sound like a silly suggestion, but if not moving bothers you, can you eat in bars where there is music and you can move or sway to the beat?

[MRawPR in reply to mtnee]

That’s a great suggestion!!! We usually sit at the bar for that reason. I don’t drink alcohol but my fiancée likes wine with his dinner. And also we get to meet other people.
