I had a similar experience last weekend while with dad at the hospital visiting mom. She fell asleep, and he fell asleep in the chair beside me. I had the same feelings and was so afraid I was going to start crying. There was another woman and her daughter in the bed beside mom. I was so relieved when my sister and her boyfriend came and they woke up. I thought I was going to lose it right there in front of everyone for sure. Now I may be going with dad to a doctor appointment Wednesday, and I'm terrified the same thing is going to happen while I'm waiting on him in the waiting room. I think I'm going to have to be sitting there quite awhile, and I know the longer I'm sitting there, the more scary thoughts are going to go through my head.
