Last week I had my first panic attack in a while and it was at a personal training session. I had just finished a challenging 30-min set of nonstop strength. My body started to feel weird and the panic set in. My trainer knows that I might have panic attacks and he is good about just letting me have it, but I still felt some embarrassment and shame and while I did try to just allow it all to happen, I definitely did push it away a little too. After about 5 minutes of pacing and such, I asked that we continue the session. I did my final set for ~10 minutes while my hands and feet were numb and tingly. I then proceeded to go to a house warming party right after so all-in-all I'm proud even knowing that I can do better next time and not push away as much. I have another session today which I am experiencing anxiety over, but I am going.
