I tried posting in general chat to ask for help, but everyone there is struggling and needing attention so I felt guilty and didn't want to interrupt. Someone told me to "feel free to ask for help" but I couldn't bring myself to do it because there were so many people talking about their own bad experiences, and I felt terrible about interrupting.

I am not doing well right now, and I am having difficulty breathing, but I still can't bring myself to ask for the help I need. I always feel so bad to post threads or comments or anything because there is always a voice in my head saying I'm taking away attention from people who need it. But I do need help tonight, and I am having trouble staying calm if anyone is there to talk

I need a moment to calm down, and posting here is good enough. I just can't stand being alone when I'm in the middle of one, so knowing that I'm seen helps immensely

I ate lunch with my Dad earlier today and we had sandwiches together! It was good, there were chips and meatballs and bread. It was snowing outside too and hard to drive there, but I was glad to see him

No snow, that's crazy. There is a lot of snow here right now. It's white outside, and a lot of it is on the ground. It sometimes feels good to look at it even though it is cold

Yes, in my country, it's hot all year round and it never snows, not even during Christmas.

We literally have places that creates artificial snow and it's kind of like a huge deal.

It doesn't snow a lot, but it's all white outside when it does. The sky is gray and the ground is white, and everything is really bright. If you open the window, it's blinding

Ever since I felt depressed, I don't particularly enjoy light/blinding. Other than that, it does sound pretty nice.

@ClaudeKersey i can feel the storm in my mind calming down atm, but before I go I want to say how grateful I am. It helps when people respond quickly, and it's a lot worse to go through an attack when no one is there

You're welcomed. Good night.

Not sure if you would like it, but I seem to enjoy Whiskey Blues music now.

I'm sorry that you went through this, I can imagine that it must be horrible having a panic attack. I wish you the best.
