stranded in another state and couldnt get a flight out back home till the morning. I was at a car dealership and usually I know when I'm having a panic attack---it comes and goes so fast---I guess some are worse than others. I wonder if anyone else gets this way when they are panicking. I know I was stressed bc buying a car is a big deal, kinda, and this would have been my first time too.
Well---I just felt like all of a sudden ---I had to go to the bathroom immediately--not only that but when I was in the office with the dealer guy---I couldnt sit there--I had to get up and leave. I couldnt even hide the fact that I was panicking.You could obvioulsy tell there was something bothering me. I really didnt know what the hell was wrong with me---I was with my mom and the look on her face when I told her I needed to go was frightening too. She said to me later how she thought we were going to have to call an ambulance for me. I honestly thought I was losing my marbles right then and there--is this a panic attack or is this something worse? Later on ---I was getting in the car with my family and felt those same feelings come on again---I used the breathing technique which really helped me get through the car ride. Normal..or not normal at all? Just for trying to buy a car--? Now...im scared that it's gonna happen again
Well...I went in there today and bought my car--:) I didnt panic or freak out---Thank GOD--but I wonder what the hell that was---intense outright fear--and I had to go to the bathroom asap.
