I’m in crisis. About to throw up I am on the bus, but it’s full. I live in Mexico if that can make you imagine the scene a little ??‍♀️ There is a lot of people talking and touching me and there’s almost no air and I can smell everyone around me and it’s making me real uncomfortable. I wanna cry. Please help me. I feel like I can’t breathe. And my stupid iPhone keeps calling to voice control even tho I deactivated it and it pops up like every 5 secs but I wanna hear music but- HELP ME.

I do understand what a panic attack is, and also know my triggers but I couldn’t scape from the situation where I was or get rid of the circumstances, just needed some support.

It was a panic attack. A really awful one. Seeking for reassurance is a whole different thing.

@Triggered Potato you being on here begging for help is seeking reassurance or your panic attack, and we’re not professionals that are trained to deal with a triggered person.

@makk? When is related to intrusive thoughts is not helpful, but in this case I just needed to scape from the situation having someone to listen and understand, that was it.

@Emma20 oh course! the app just doesn’t encourage it and that’s why. the wrong advice in a high tense situation can be damaging. just be safe guys and keep breathing❤️

@makk? For me I can tell apart a bad advice. Like “be safe and keep breathing” that just lacks of empathy.

@Triggered Potato If you want to fight with me let’s get off a self care app, heartless ass?

@makk? I literally was the first one to offer reassurance and corrected myself. You don’t want help, please delete this app before you hurt someone that actually dies want help.

@makk? @makk? Hahahahaha I just read this lol sorry I didn’t mean to sound that rude to start a fight?? but what you said just seemed to me like when everyone else says “don’t be sad” or “get over it” ? I really appreciate your first comment but I felt like it was contradictory you saying after it that I was wrong and looking for reassurance ? and maybe you should learn a little bit more about panic attacks because it is really useful to have someone who helps in that situation, as I needed it because I was traveling by myself and there was no other way for me to reach help or to move in order to have personal space to calm down. Also you should be careful with words, because what you said in your last comment can actually be a trigger to someone.

@Triggered Potato I said those things because I am experienced. Over 4 years of having ROCD and severe panic attacks and I god damn understand what a support team is because I never had one. My boyfriend doesn’t even believe in mental disorders. He screams if I have a panic attack because he doesn’t get it. Reassurance can be extremely dangerous and hurtful if the wrong person replies. All I was saying. You felt like it was “contradictory” because you have ocd too.. I do know about panic attacks because I got through the worst of them over the past 4 years, but thanks for the concern.
