the.one.they.call.gay Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Hey, so I had a panic attack today! *nervous laugh* However, the entire time, my sister was talking to me about her date with a girl. While I'd love to hear about that, I can't handle all that at once. So here's my question: How do I kindly and politely tell someone to eff off whilst in the middle of an internal collapse? I need an answer to this question more than I need oxygen. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind me asking if you get these often? And can I ask, did you tell your sister how you were feeling or do you think she didn't know what was going on for you at the time?Β MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just act like nothings wrong, so people don't tend to see what's happening. I have a hard time telling people what I'm feeling. And I especially struggle with emotional expressions. After she walked away though, I got it under control by putting on my headphones and listen to music. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that you have a hard time telling people. It can be really difficult opening up about our emotions and feelings as it can make us feel vulnerable. Do you think that might be why you like to keep it to yourself? I'm wondering, if your sister (or another family member) was experiencing this, would you want them to talk to you about it?Β Also, do you mind telling me a bit about panic attacks (if you feel comfortable to)? How do you feel when it happens and have you noticed a trigger?Β MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my effin gawd,Β so I'm not the only one then legit I can't underscore how relatable this is, I'm like in a tank of water and it is rising above my head and I can't breath among other symptoms...during convo and the other person like my mom for example is talking about ukuleles or her experience at the health insurance place, and I do care i swear!!

_melanie_ Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) So- I also had one today- just because of some stupid friend stuff- but itβs kinda weird because there was one point in time where I didnβt cry for years. No matter what It was. And then one time I cried in front of my mom and ever since then I cry over the smallest things- any reason why?

Crying is really good for letting out tho, I can hardly cry these days, tbh I am not even sure what crying means I guess. 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
