I started having panic attacks a few years ago and it got so bad I had to go on meds (Zoloft). I have been SO much better since taking Zoloft but I’ll still get occasional panic attacks. The biggest worry about panic attacks for me is having someone see me going through it. I’ve always went to my room alone when I’m having one because I’m embarrassed to have anyone see me like that. 

Well yesterday I ate too much of an edible and was having a full blown panic attack while watching a movie with my GF. I tried to keep it together for as long as I could but eventually the panic won. My whole body was shaking and I felt like I couldn’t even walk. I finally told my girlfriend what was going on and she was amazing. She helped me get to bed and then just layer with me and cuddled me. She didn’t try to talk to me, just layed with me. I instantly felt the adrenaline leaving my body. My heart rate slowed down and my body started shaking less. I’ve never had a panic attack end so quickly before. I realize now that one of my biggest triggers I the worry of people seeing me in that panicked state, but once I opened up and told my Gf about it I instantly calmed down. It was an eye opening experience for me.
