Honestly, when you are v*ing you just get on with it. Whilst it's happening, so many other things are going through your mind that you actually end up not being scared. That's what happened to me in June, anyway. (I don't want to generalise and say it's the same for everyone). It was the "Oh my God, is it going to happen again?" thought that made it worse for me. Think about something that makes you happy. In-between bursts of v*ing, I looked at photos of my rabbit and talked about her. It really helped. My boyfriend also distracted me by saying "Aw, wouldn't it be lovely to go to New York next year?". You get through it no matter what, just remember that.
