Panic and confusion


13 years ago 0 195 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I've had the forgetting word ones and also the forgetting why I went into a room. They are both weird. This latest one just kind of came out of nowhere. But I am glad I was able to calm myself without having a full panic attack. I often hate radio commercials, they get so repetitive. I listen to a lot of am talk so a lot of the commercials are geared toward the target audiences, few of which are me. LOL

Hi Wrestler,
 
I am sorry to hear that your post did not go through, I'm not sure how it disappeared. I am glad that you re-posted your experience. It sounds like you used your coping mechanisms effectively to challenge your negative thoughts and calm yourself down. Positive self-talk is a great way to challenge a panic attack. It sounds like there were a lot of factors coming into play, be sure to bring water with you in your car.

Members, have you experienced anything like this before?

I made a post last night but it seems to have disappeared. So I will make it again.
 
Last week, I was driving back to my office, during a thunderstorm, and a commercial was on the radio that kept saying "kitchen." I then got confused as to what our kitchen looked like and was confusing it with the kitchen from when I was a teen. I was nearly panicking and wanted to pull over, but I did not as the traffic was busy. So, I calmed myself as much as possible, but it really scared me that I got confused. I supposed there have been moments like this for me before, but this was really uncomfortable. I did have a lot going on: Working all day, 95 degree heat, thunderstorm, traffic and an annoying commercial.
 
Has anything like this happened to any of you before?
