Hi everybody! HAPPY FRIDAY!

I think it helps to laugh at our anxiety, it lets us realize that it is not going to kill us. So, I was wanting everyones most embarassing or funny stories that have to do with panic attacks. I will start..........

I was flying to visit my mom for a holiday (can't remember which one) and I HATE to fly. Well, I was on the plane, the plane was already late so people were already aggitated and BAM I get a full blown panic attack. I started crying and yelling to stop the plane and let me out, they actually turned the plane around to let me out, (imagine how mad the other passagers were). So as they are turning the plane around the crew is trying to calm me down cuz I am crying. I mentioned that I was going to visit my mom and I do admit I look kinda young but I am 28 and they must have thought I was a child or something cuz they were rubbing my back saying "do you want us to call your mommy for you" and I just rolled with it and said yeah, and started crying even harder. They thought I was some kids who never flew before and got spooked. When I look back at it, I am so embarrassed and I laugh, even though I feel bad for the poor other passangers who were already late. Or yeah, I also fainted on a plane trip one time cuz I mixed my plane panic medicine the Dr. gave to me to fly with and alcohol (I was gonna make sure I did not get a PA this time). Well this was a very bad idea cuz even though I was not panicing, the mixture made me very sick so I had to go use the restroom to throw up and on the way the mixture also made me faint. So next thing I know, I am in the middle of the isle with O2 on and ice on my forehead! hee-hee. Embarassing but funny! apologies for my bad spelling!
