So, I've been having "mini" anxiety attacks throughout the day. Last night, while in a very stressful and terrifying situation, I had two serious ones. Last night, my boyfriend's car broke down after school let out. My best friend picked him up and her boyfriend met us in town and we hung out for awhile. My friend's boyfriend (My cousin) was driving my boyfriend and I home when my boyfriend started having a Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure next to me in the back seat. I had never seen someone have a seizure before, and I was terrified. He started groaning, his eyes rolled back in his head, he was foaming at the mouth, his entire body stiffened and started to convulse, and he was smacking his lips together and pulling at his clothes/rubbing his hands together. I didn't know how to react and just simply called 911 and told my cousin to pull off of the road. When the first responder arrived, he wouldn't allow her to touch him (he was just starting to regain his senses) and he looked up at me trembling and barely able to speak and told me he was scared and that he didn't want to die. He had no idea how old he was, where he was, or what day of the week it was. He refused to get in the ambulance unless I came with him. It was the scariest thing I've ever dealt with... I can't get the image out of my head. It keeps relooping in my head over and over and over again. I had an anxiety attack during his seizure, and again at the hospital. I'm scared for him. I thought he was going to die and I hope his medication prevents more of these in the future.. He was diagnosed with epilepsy when he was young and had his last Tonic-Clonic Seizure 2 years ago. I'm grateful that his car broke down when it did, because if it hadn't, he would have been driving home when he started seizing over. I just don't know how to deal with this.. I know that if I can't handle this, I won't be able to handle worse situations. And I don't want to relive that moment every second that I close my eyes.. It just makes me worry about him more, bringing on another mini attack...
