The first time I got an anxiety attack was the worst. I knew exactly what was happening, and luckily I was at a waiting room for my therapist, but even knowing that, I couldn't breathe. It was like ten times worse than when you accidentally start manually breathing (sorry for anyone who catches a stray, sometimes reading it triggers it, lol). And I was so tense and agitated that it felt like my muscles were locked up. I wanted to scream and cry and like spin in circles tearing stuff up, but also not be near anything that made noise. Horrible sensation. Do not recommend.
Yeah, with issues at work after a botched migration we have been at a super high call volume which just compounds the stress of the job. It's been a few months since I had an anxiety attack, but it the last 2 weeks I have had a couple, along with some close calls.
The crawling skin, the inability to breath, think clearly. Becoming really reactionary.
I wish I still had xanax to pop, but I also don't. Made me understand the nature of addiction really too well. The alternatives I have been given just seem to make me tired, but not any less anxious. Cannabis is so far my best alt, but finding the right combination of terpenes, thc and cbd is hit or miss.
Anywho. There is always the chance of a bowl of mint chocolate chip at the end of the day for those who are there to greet it.
