Hi

I had major anxiety attack not long ago in public and am now at home sitting in a dark wardrobe blocking out sights and sounds.

Its bad enough dealing with the anxiety attack but to have people gather round and purposly watch and make things 100 times worse realy ###### me off!

Do others find the public gather round and intensifies the anxiety or panic attack because you cant concentrate on trying to calm down because of the them?

Cheers lynne

Hey Lynne

No worries at all...I am 'lucky' as most of my major anxiety attacks happened in the car when in traffic...I get it though in public I would feel a lot worse just as you have...ugh!

That was a horrible anxiety attack that you had. The last thing you would want is being 'smothered' despite peoples good intentions. Chronic anxiety is an awful condition to have

I couldnt think of anything worse to go through

my kind thoughts always Lynne 🙂

No apologies necessary Lynne!

I have a huge list of typo's (and big mistakes!) that go back to when I started in Jan 2016......

You are doing fine.......and great to have you back. Your posts and any contribution you make are just as valued as any champion/life member. Your life experience is more highly valued than you know

Cheers
