My panic attacks (since age 16, now 40) are all the same. I have a severe flight response which usually sends me running. High adrenaline with sensory overload.

Every job I have ever had, people feel the need to "chase" me during a panic attack. People have tried to hold me, talk me down ("just breathe!" "It's all in your head!") and this makes things so much worse. Now, I have the panic attack to deal with AND co-workers in my face all trying to smother me with solutions.

Since I have such severe panic attacks that come from seemingly nowhere, I have been placed on many many Benzos. I weaned myself off of them after realizing none work for me, they just slowly make my body need more. I was eating them like candy for 10 years.

So, does anyone have any simple solutions for people who can't just leave you alone during work? I am looking for a work from home option so I don't have to be around anyone anymore. Thanks.
