Hi @Birdofparadise8 I hope you have a good night tonight.

I am going to settle into the couch and watch Carols in the Domain tonight. Hopefully they have some good performers on.

Hi @bartart23 @RiverSeal nice to see you around.

Hi @bartart23, @Birdofparadise8 and RiverSeal I wish you all a kind afternoon 💖. I’ve just been resting up and been at home since uni finished on Thursday. I don’t do Christmas so I have no stress for that

Hey @Snowie 

[bartart23]

Fuck I am never going to the shops again I had the biggest panic attack I run to the toilet and just sit there crying  

Never again I hate myself for doing this 

[Snowie]

Hi @bartart23 

I have panic attacks too. Getting yourself to the toilet was a good move.

Shops at this time of year are crazy

[bartart23]

Yes @Snowie  everyone looked at me like I was crazy or doing something bad I feel so ashamed right now  

It's All my fault I should of stayed home where nobody would see me 

I have butterflies in my belly my head is spinning I don't even know what happened 😞😞

Hey @bartart23 Thank you for your post and for sharing about how you are feeling. You demonstrated your strength in going to the shops regardless of how you were feeling prior. Sometimes we don't do as well as we hoped and we need to settle and regroup before we can try again. Maybe try again when you are in a better place maybe tomorrow. What has helped you overcome these feelings in the past when this has happened before?

It's hard when they happen in public or in front of people @bartart23 especially when they come on so quickly.

Perhaps you can take some time out for yourself and do something nice for yourself.
