when you're out and need to alert people you are anxious, do you use an alarm?

I actually have 3

I wear 1 on my wrist, and carry 2 around with me

may be a little accessive, but carrying around these alarms really help me- and I know if I did get too anxious, no matter what happened (even if I couldn't talk or anything), I had my alarms to let people know

I've never heard of this, how does it work?

When I go into panic mode I grab my chest near my heart. Every single time. I do it involuntarily and people know I'm having a panic attack. For mild anxiety I wring my hands or shred Kleenex in my pocket. Its apparent to anyone who knows me when I'm not okay.

But anyways, I'm curious to hear more about the alarm.

it's like on a chain

if you're feeling anxious or pannicky, you pull the front of the chain out, and the alarm makes a noise alerting people of the fact you are anxious and you are vunnerable.

I have 3 of these

the best way I can describe it actually.. have you ever seen an attack alarm?

you're out in the street and someone attacks you, so you press the button to alert people around you

well, that, but with anxiety

get anxious and you pull the alarl

that way people around you can help you and understand
