Panic attack in lecture!! What fun!!

[Tay171]

Basically had a random panic attack in a 200 person lecture class today ,that was cool ,

I managed to stop myself half way through and force myself to stay , I am getting better at this . Now I feel dizzy and exhausted though

That's awesome. You're learning to control and know that it is nothing to be afraid of! It can be exhausting because your body is technically doing a work out while your sitting down.

Im know you will get better with every passing day in doing this!

Thank you appreciate the support

Hi Ct17, I agree with Devin, you did it. You are learning how not to let it bully you and gain your composure. Great job. Next time will only get easier.

Fair play for staying, I'd of ran out of there like a headless chicken bouncing off the walls. I need to work on that

That's all that was going through my head was just get up and leave . But it was half way in and was like no way lol I got to stay now

My sister has severe anxiety problems and has recently received a service dog which is been very beneficial to her it seems to know when the attacks are coming on and is able to get her to a safe place without disturbing her veterinary medicine class

Hi Br549, I'm interested in a service dog for my daughter. I was wondering if you need a doctor's note to get one. I wish your sister continued benefits from having the dog. Take care.
