a long time ago i used to have cash register jobs and i was once a deli girl. I would get panic attacks when i would have a lot of frustrated customers in line all staring at me and I was glued to that spot behind the register with no way out to calm myself down. . at first i would wonder why it bothered me a little and after a while it just got so bad that i ran out of the store when people just stood there staring at me. this is what a panic attack feels like. You start to sweat, lose concentration, breath faster, get very red faced and than people say why is your face red. Which of course made it redder. And you feel very unfocused. And people notice all that and focus more on you and of course it makes it worse. So my way to get over my attacks is get a nursing position where i am not glued to one spot all day. I found out that moving around and constantly changing my scenery helps me be better focused and have less panic attacks.
What do you think? Answer below!
