That honestly pisses me off when people talk right after having a "attack" an they seem so fine talking about it, after I had mine I was totally zoned out an couldn't even think where the hell I was, I wouldn't have been in any state to jump on a camera an talk let alone go on a stage an perform, thankfully I didn't go through attacks when I was doing that or I'd have been skinned alive for wreaking a show, there's just no way in hell you are there mentally to be able to "brush it off" an then continue what you are doing, it totally takes it out of you an you need to rest afterwards
Also I learned that the brain makes memories of where you take attacks an stores that in your head so if you visit it again it automatically triggers the fight or flight an that can bring on attacks, if she DID suffer attacks so bad she needed out then she would suffer them all the time at that place, there's traffic lights by my old work that still to this day trigger me, you can "retrain" but it can takes years an I doupt she would even know how to do that anyway if she even did take attacks
YEP. 100%
My first panic attack was in 1998. Literally thought I was going to die.
I have had a ton since then - at home or out of the home.
Including at "happy" places like Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, and Legoland. Out of the blue.
Had a major one at the Orlando Science Center one day, and a big one in the middle of watching "O Wondrous Night" once at SeaWorld - thought I was going to drop in my chair, had to bolt out of there, felt like a complete ass afterwards, shaky, couldn't eat, etc.
Had a big one once at Hollywood Studios (then MGM). One in Walmart too - completely out of the blue - walking down the automotive aisle. Recently at Target in Winter Garden Village. Another time, had one at home, landed me in the ER with them running EKGS on me; another one at work when I worked for the county years' back (on a completely low-stress Friday) that landed me in the hospital with them doing CT scans on me.
So when she talks about her anxiety, and panic attacks, I literally want to punch her fucking face in.
