Anxiety is weird. About 15 years ago i had a severe panic attack - actually funny enough- I was watching the Skins play the Cardinals or Rams - I forget. It was 08 I think - when they had to win 5 down the stretch to get in. I was at my normal bar - had one beer - afternoon game - and all of the sudden - BOOM- thought i was going down. Gathered myself and drove back and forth towards the hospital- because every time I got close I was like what am i doing here? But it got bad - so bad I couldn’t drive. After tests, doctors visits, etc I was told it was anxiety- panic attacks- but I was not anxious or panicked about anything. Doctor told me it dont matter. Its just your body and your mind reacting to life in general and it isn’t up to you whether it happens or not. Lasted about 3 years - was awful. Debilitating actually. Couldn’t sit at my desk at work, couldn’t do alot of things. Was afraid to travel for fear of having one somewhere not near my comfort zone - my home. But than like the wind it just went away. Been about 12 years.
Oh in the ER, my only concern was who won the game, not what the hell is wrong with me. Ha. But i found out they won. Woot woot. Felt a little better. Ill never forget the brief reprieve I felt from the news we were going to the playoffs.
