I know it’s not easy and panic attacks can be scary I get them out of know where sometimes you are not a disappointment things happen that are out of our control and all we can do is work on it try to do better but it’s not your fault have you ever tried medication or therapy to help I am here for you if you need a friend or just someone to talk to

The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. We were a couple hours from home. We just left to come home when an attack hit. I didn’t think I would be able to continue the drive or make it home. I did though! So did you! You aren’t letting anyone down. I am right there with you on really believing that. I get down on myself when it happens too. Let’s work on our positive self talk together 🫶🏻
