I panicked and I’m crying

Today my niece had her sweet sixteen and I stayed for a bit and my chest started to tighten and I couldn’t breathe.

I couldn’t find a ride and Lyft cancelled my ride. I felt like I couldn’t do anything and I felt so small. I felt like a bunch of people were laughing at me I feel so shitty.

My anxiety has always been bad. But I have never panicked this hard. And yes I went to the local a few months back and I couldn’t catch my breath.

Its a terrible feeling when it comes on i know it feels like youre spiraling into deep dark place, nothing feels right its an out of control feeling and its actually very sad and scary when it happens because you feel like you cant control it

Im so sorry you are going thru this…

Its so unfair i know!!!

What have you considered for help?

I white knuckled this for many years and tried breathing which took me a whole year everyday practicing it to finally get anywhere… tried to understand it when it came and what the triggers are

But sometimes it still comes on and its scary as he k

I just wonder what support you have if any? Just checking on you and let you know you are not alone 🥰

Social anxiety is hard. I stay at home most days. Sometimes wish I was invisible so no one would look at me. I am sorry you feel this way. I also have panic attacks. I haven't figured all of the factors out though.
