Thread: Scared

    Default Scared

    I have a story about this evening. This happened about an hour ago and I'm very scared and panicking right now.

    I was just out at the movies. When it was over, I went to the bathroom and while I was on my way out, this girl came in and she was hyperventilating, couldn't stand up and was freaking out and crying. Another woman started helping her while I stood there terrified until she asked me to go get help. So I ran out, found some guy who called the manager and then immediately left as fast as I could. The woman who was helping her came out and was pointing to the bathroom and talking to the managers. An ambulance passed me on the way home and I think it was for her. So obviously now my phobia is freaking out and I came home, threw all my clothes in the laundry and took a shower. Now I'm thinking all kinds of stupid selfish things like I'm being punished for seeing the movie and I wish I hadn't gone to the bathroom because then I wouldn't have been "exposed." It could've been anything but obviously I'm thinking the thing that affects me the most. I feel like the worst because I'm being so selfish when this woman was obviously having such a hard time and I'm freaking out about what I could catch.

    I couldn't even wash my hands until I got home because it happened as soon as I was coming out of the stall. I'm so scared right now. I have medication and a meditation that I do when I have panic attacks like this. But I'm so scared about what I could've been exposed to in there. I've had a bad cold for three weeks so I'm also scared my immune system isn't up to par right now.
    If anyone could help me out, offer advice or something, I would really appreciate it.

    Thank you so much.

    To me it doesn’t sound like she v’d most people don’t freak out like that, the fact that an ambulance was called and she was in such a bad way makes me think that it was something more seriousL

    it sounds like she was having a panic attack. you weren't exposed to anything! don't worry you will be ok. try not to freak. easier said than done i know, but even if she was sick, you were nowhere near "particles" anyway. you are a okay!

    That sounds more like a panic attack or something. They wouldn't call an ambulance b/c someone v'd.
