Mate gets them quite badly. A load of us were on a coach to Twickenham a couple of weeks ago and he had one on the coach and disappeared to the loo to gather himself. He didn't get too much sympathy from everyone who all said he was tugging. Quite sad really.
What's the difference between a 'panic' attack and someone being a drama queen? I know for a fact people claim to be suffering from the former when history is clearly suggesting it's the latter
A drama queen would have to be a ****ing good performer to pull off what looked like a genuine panic attack.
I only ever had the need for one of those once. The only thing at hand which was handed to me was a plastic bag. It had the opposite effect.
He got sympathy from me and a few others. Lads on the piss though is never the best time for sympathy.
Aye, what starts off as regular takeaways and Tesco's Finest slowly descends into empty fridges and tins of soup.
Realise you weren't looking for a serious response but tough. In my line of work I've seen a few different people have panic attacks and it's sometimes hard not to panic a touch yourself watching one, they are very uncomfortable to witness but of course the best response is to be calm and patient. Often the person will suddenly have their heart rate shoot up, shake and start sweating profusely whilst looking utterly terrified. One girl just started shouting that she was going to die over and over. That was fun. Other times the person may become quiet and seem utterly detached from what is happening. Basically think about the most scared you've ever been and then multiply it by some margin; in the end people simply become terrified by the feeling of not being in control of their own body - which must be terrifying.
