Good question! I have definitely felt panic at times, but I am not sure I have lost control of my reaction. The only time I lost control of my reaction completely was when the Dentist sedated me when I had my wisdom teeth out.
YES!we were driving to the airport to pick up our son who was flying in from London. There was a terrible thunderstorm and the rain was torrential. Traffic slowed on the major highway (the 6 lane 401)to a crawl. Then we heard on the news that a plane had crashed on the runway at 4pm.That was the exact time of our son’s flight arrival. I panicked .I wanted to get out and run along the side of the highway. I was beside myself. Absolutely freaking out . When we arrived at the airport I could smell smoke. On the radio I heard that the plane had gone off the end of the runway and a fire had started. Again I panicked and ran into the terminal. There I saw a tv screen showing the plane off the end of the runway with smoke billowing out from it. Then I saw the plane was an Air France flight. Our son was on a British Airways flight. It was not his plane. I have never been so relieved in my life. Amazingly there was no one killed in this crash. They were able to get all of the passengers off. But I will never forget my complete and utter panic when I thought he was in that plane crash.
I have panic attacks occasionally, and most of the time they occur for no discernible reason. They are extremely unpleasant, but I guess not life-threatening… unless someday one should happen while I’m driving on a busy highway or something. That hasn’t happened yet, but I suppose it could. Gonna try not to think about it too much.
