Had a panic attack in the grocery store yesterday after MONTHS - was with my 5 year old autistic non verbal son and the horrible thoughts escalated fast - he won’t be able to ask for help if something happens to me etc. I spiralled slowly and was already thinking of asking the cashier to ring the ambulance (my go to behaviour!) but I didn’t I paid walked out to hubby who was sat in the car with the other two kids. I told him how I felt suggested going home but he carried on to the next stop - Costco. The drive there was terrible I felt myself hazy and dizzy and joints went stiff. Got to Costco and I stood out the car and got some air and hubby waited till I was ok and normally I wud be in tears begging to go home or a hospital but I took about 10-15 minutes and headed in despite being uncomfortable I went in and did the shop any way. Came home n napped because I felt exhausted but I did it!!! And by the evening I was even excited about having gone through it! Huge learning!
