A window washer came for our building and I didn’t know he was coming, I needed to let him into our apartment to get into the backyard. The interaction was fine, I offered him coffee/tea, etc. But afterwards I had to sit and collect myself. I felt like I just avoided being hit by a car or something and my body is like “wow! Whew! that was scary...” Even though I know nothing scary happened. I sometimes feel this way after meetings at work too. 

I don’t think this is a panic attack, but I don’t know what to call it. Does anyone else ever feel this way? Any tips or suggestions on dealing with it? Thanks :)
