Panic attack in a museum

[DonnaT]

Well I have to say this isn’t my finest moment I’m sitting on n a bench well away from anybody I’m having a panic attack about the fact my leg feels different. It feels weaker then usual and that all I can focus on. I’m sitting here trying to look so calm but in the inside I’m in a huge panic. This was supposed to be a nice trip for my husband and I’m so embarrassed that I’m like this or that I’m even mentioning I feel the way I am such an idiot I feel like a complete mess and failure to him and my family

Don't be embarrassed, it can happen anywhere!

You can't control the start of a panic attack, but you CAN control what happens from here on. You will still feel anxiety, but maybe just tell yourself you're here to have a nice day with your family, so you'll make the best of it. You don't have to be perfect for the day to be a success.

Having a panic attack absolutely does NOT make you an idiot or a failure!! If you were having a bad day due to something like the flu, would you still think that way? Panic/anxiety are just like physical illnesses, any of us can get them, it's got nothing to do with our character. Hang in there!
