Panic attacks?

[MuNkY]

Read the title on the thread in the disney tips forum, and that reminded me of something.

Back in 7th grade we had a tornado warning during school. The whole class herded into this tiny room. It was hot in there, and people kept making really stupid jokes over an issue that was sirous.

Now let me explain, I'm not afraid of much. I don't like roller coasters, but only because I hate the feeling of negative Gs. I've been in the direct path of many hurricanes, and it barley phased me....but.

I'm terrified of Tornados. They fasinate me, but at the same time, scare me to death. I was sitting there, and my heart started beating faster, I started sweating, and twitching. So basically I was beginning to have a panic attack. ( and actually it's creeping me out thinking about it again )



So, have any of you had a panic attack, and if not, what is your biggest fear?

I've had panic attacks..I have a phobia of fire and snakes..seeing a snake can cause me to go into a panic attack even if it is dead or in a cage. I can't even look at a picture of them in a book.

I was about to go on Medusa in Six Flags with my friends, we came through the handi capped section because one of my friends was in a wheel chair and this girl came off and she was having a panic attack. There were a lot of workers giving her water and trying to calm her down and she was like spazing out and we were having second thoughts about going on it after seeing that girl making a HUGE scene like crying, gasping, shouting, she looked almost about to faint! (We went on the ride anyway) I felt really bad.

I've never had a really bad panic attack, but if I ever did it would be with little kids. I mean if other people are around I'd be fine, but alone with little kids like when I'm babysitting or something, I'd be fine until something goes wrong (which always does) I space out and I totally break down and I get all nervous and sweaty and...ugh. This actually happened while I was babysitting the little kids that live across from me. My mom came and checked on me and thank god that she did! It was out of control! (I'm not a bad babysitter, this kid was just going wild!) Any kids out of diper stage I am mostly fine with, the the younger ones....not so good.

I had a panic attack once.....I was in i think 4th grade and and we had a 2 hour tornado warning and we had our heads against the wall for 2 hours in duck and cover and i have always been afraid of tornados/hurricanes but never thunder storms. our parents acctually had to come pick us up and my mom was one of the 1st and everyone was begging me to take them home. It was funny but kinda scary

With us, I was CERTAIN the school was going to get hit by a twister. I mean, right before we went into the little room we herded into, I looked outside, and it was so dark out I couldn't see the flowers that are like two feet away from the window.

i have this really strange fear of chainsaws and clowns....long story (pm me if you wanna hear it) so i was at busch gardens (VA) hal-0-scream...and there were clowns...and chainsaws...i knew there were clows but i didnt mind them at first..then i heard chainsaws and started freaking out asking workers if there were chainsaws...and none would answer me...which made me really mad...and so i went in...and there was a clown...with a chain saw...i have never run faster in my life! I ran out the door to the line and there was another clown with the moter of a chainsaw in his hands! I went nuts and ran a way to the gift shops to wait for my cousins to get out. But acctually my dad and aunt found me and by then i was in tears...because of evil clowns and their stuipid chain saws!

ok needed to say that!

wow you are very lucky that you didnt get hurt! that seems very scary! I lived right by the school so my mom said she saw something black outside our window but she wasnt sure what it was. Then when i was in Alabama this past June We were driving home from a 3 day stay of BEAUTIFUL weather and near the border we had a tornado swoop about a 1 mile ahead of us. My friend was very scared because she saw a "wall cloud" we were in 2 diff cars so she kept calling my bff's cell and saying IS THAT A WALL CLOUD!? yup another scare! We were freaking out! *sorry this post is sooo long!* I tend to ramble

My best friend just moved to north carolina, and i went with them for the first week they were there. The FIRST day they get into their apartment theres a tornado really close to the complex, and the only thing her mom does to comfort us is "if you hear something that sounds like a train coming towards the building- run for the bathroom" we were soooo scared!


but back on topic.... my biggest fear is that in some normal everyday thing, something will go horribly wrong and i'll like die or something to that effect.

Lol, that's the way I want to go out. After a long life, be sitting on the couch watching TV, and have a piano or something crash through the roof and crush me.

Either that or a wicked car crash.

i'm scared of anything pointy like needles and compasses after when i was 4 and i had my 1st blood test

i was so scared of having one of my jabs that i had to be pinned to the floor to have it done

i'm also afraid of many other things like extint or some mythical creatures and skeletons and heights

once when i was doing this thing about winning a comp to WDW there was a picture of DINOSAUR and i actually screamed and ran away from the computer

and i was scared when POTC broke down in the part where the skeleton drives the boat and i was there with my eyes closed laying head on sister's lap waiting and waiting hoping we didn't have to get out


so really i'm a big scardy cat
