I decided to take a long hot bath, but kept going over stuff in my head where I was increasingly working myself up. It happened when I got out of the tub, I was unable to breathe, both from being completely worked up, and from the smothering humidity that had grown in the bathroom. I was gasping for air and completely terrified at not being able to breathe. My bathroom is connected to my bedroom by a door, so I went straight through there and into my bedroom, where my inhaler was. I grabbed it and used it and sat down on my bed, telling myself to breathe in deep calming breaths and relaxed my body muscle by muscle.

I'm fine now, but if it weren't for the fact that I have an inhaler, I probably would have been in big trouble.
