What was the worst place you've ever had a panic attack?
Thankfully mine took place at my own house late at night, but EMTs were called and that was pretty embarrassing because I thought I was dying. ![]()

I had two of them where I used to work. They were some of the most awful experiences...

I went to an open job interview at the supermarket by where I live. I started shaking, literally my whole body. This girl also in line for the interview was like "look at her shake" It was one of my most embarrassing moments.

I had one driving home one night about 40 minutes from home. I was alone and kept having to pull over and calm my breathing. I probably never got over 40 miles an hour. I finally made it home. It was the last time a drove at night for a long time.

This yr has been bad for me. I had a panic attack at my pharmacy picking up anti anxiety meds. I got super jumpy and paranoid and in utter distress I almost cried. Had to see T after for my appt.
Panicked in an elevator at work cuz there were too many and some ppl were really big and I was pushed to the back. I'm claustrophobic too which made it even worse.

I guess my most embarrassing panic attack was at my senior homecoming dance. I frequently vomit when I have attacks - especially if I have recently eaten or have food sitting in front of me that I'm expected to eat. Puked at the restaurant and could hardly eat anything. We all piled into my friend's mom's mini van (we were too poor for a limo - lol) and I was so panicky. Ended up puking on my lap on my dress right next to my date. Humiliated. Pretty much just said I had been sick for a couple days but wanted to try to come to the dance anyway. Had friends drop me off at home and then they dropped my date off at his house. It was awful. Same thing happened at senior prom. Started at the restaurant. I barely made it to the bathroom with my mouth full of vomit. Puked and puked and finally calmed myself enough to rinse my mouth a little and go back to the table and act like everything was fine. Hardly ate any of my food. Got to the dance, puked a little more in the parking lot - thank God only a couple of my closest friends saw it and were worried but I just said I hadn't been feeling good all day. They totally didn't believe me and made me promise to tell my mom that I kept puking at public events, which I did. The entire dance was a low-level panic attack. Fun, fun . . .

This was at university, I had known my flatmates for a total of 5 weeks and was already labelled at least in my head as the "awkward anxious girl who never came out to clubs". I ended up stumbling outside in bare feet at the reception of my flat having a full fledged panic attack. Looked like a dear in headlights. Thought it was heart related as it was my first experience so a flatmate and her boyfriend took me to the hospital. It all went awkwardly downhill from there...

A house party where I was with my ex boyfriend. But it was drug induced, so.

I was driving to see my father who was terminally ill. I felt like I would pass out or go blind, palpitations, numbness in my hands and mouth. I put my hazard lights on cause I was afraid I would pass out and kill someone!!! I didn't know it was panic until it continued for almost two years with no rhyme or reason! One of the many reasons I started seeking help.

I would say overall on the bus and in a classroom. I felt trapped and of course the fear and stress shoots it through the roof!

Yeah here we don't usually use a train unless going to the mountains but I can imagine. At least on the bus you can get off at the next stop and walk away from everything or try to!
