I had a terrible panic attack at work today. Mine don’t consist of sitting in a corner rocking back and fourth..mine come in a sudden wave of not being able to breath or speak and uncontrollable crying. I have my triggers and today an angry customer triggered it (being yelled at breaks me) It was embarrassing, the lady on the phone was screaming at me and instantly it started. I looked at the women in line with tears in my eyes and she silently nodded and let me walk away. I was grateful for her kind gesture.

But other people, like the women on the phone, I was not happy with. Please take time out of your day and treat everyone around you with kindness. This whole thing could have been avoided if the lady on the other line didn’t instantly jump to being mean and yelling at me.

Anxiety is no joke and it’s nothing something people can just “get over”. It’s hard and it’s with me forever.
