So earlier tonight I was at a local amusement park with my friend, her grandfather, and her little brother. They all live together because of some complications with her parents, And while I adore her; She really knows how to overwork and stress her grandfather out.
She and I had just left a concert the park had thrown (Debby Ryan was performing, she's absolutely amazing live btw) and it was around 9 when we got out of the stage area. We met up with her Grandfather and little brother as they were riding rides while we were there. It was late and we kind of wanted to go on a ride since we were in line all day, but her GF wanted to go home soon. He said we could stay for another hour however.
Long story short after following her to each end of the park twice looking for a ride, She and GF were getting worked up because she still wanted to go on a ride and he was getting really tired and irritated. We eventually ended up at a Chik-Fil-A booth and I had gotten to the point where I was starting to get really stressed out from being in the middle of it all. I started getting really light headed, my jaw and teeth started to tingle, and my breathing got really heavy. I've had (what I consider) minor panic attacks before, but this was the most intense, painful one I've had yet. I needed to sit down and catch up on my breathing and it took almost 20 minutes for me to just calm down.
Is there any tips/advice you guys have for dealing with anxiety and attacks of that nature? Anything would help so I have something to go off of in case this happens again, and I'm sorry if this is super long; I'm still a little light headed from everything. Thank youuu
