Panic attacks.
Nothing to fear but fear itself.
And, because the stupid cunt at the hospital told me that long term panic attacks can damage the heart, I now panic about having a heart attack, when I'm having a panic attack.
Why tell someone that?  |

Had sleep paralysis once and it felt like something was sitting on my chest, I couldn't breath, move or make any sounds, it was a very unnerving experience |

Thought a large shark had nudged me in the back after a heavy waterskiing crash.
Thought I was about to be pounced on by a tiger (whose cage had blended into surrounding jungle.
Both times I froze rigid. |

When the news was broken that my dad had terminal cancer.
Jumping out of an aeroplane (but that was amazing and terrifying in equal measure)
Being told the hardest kid in school was going to batter me when I was about 14.
Being dragged down the back alley of a nightclub by bouncers back in the bad old unlicensed days in a case of mistaken identity
To name a few! There has been more. |

Think it was one of the times id lost my mind and i had been sectioned. I didnt really know what i was doing but i had this moment of clarity and realized i was sat against the wall rocking just like you see in the old lunatic adylum films. But yes panic attacks would come second absolute fear |

Going for my surgery after my first miscarriage was terrifying. I remember I was on a ward with four other women who were all booked in for abortions, it seemed so easy for them. One had heard me crying and popped her head in to see if I was alright (C was at the loo) and when I got wheeled to surgery she took my hand and wished me luck.
My surgery was four floors down, I balled my eyes out the whole entire time. Had a massive panic attack and C couldn’t come down with me and I remember crying for him (I’m now crying typing this). All I wanted was a cuddle.
When I got to the room for surgery the nurse gave me a huge cuddle and asked me about my wedding day (I had miscarried on my wedding day and in all my tears I told her that) and she made me feel at ease.
After my surgery I remember waking up and just feeling dead inside |

Getting hit by a car while cycling, being airbourne and acutely aware that I was flying towards oncoming traffic on a busy A road and wondering what the fuck was going to happen next.
Being dragged out of a club by 2 blokes in a club in Spain when I was 17 was pretty scary too...
Not sure how I got out of either of those alive and relatively unscathed

My teenage son came into my bedroom one sunday morning moaning he had chest pains.. i thought he had indigestion so gave him a rennie... I had an x-ray appointment that morning and when he still had pains i told him to come with me expecting the hospital to give him a gaviscon and tell him to man up...
As soon as i told the hospital reception he had chest pains he was rushed through, again i took it with a pinch of salt, just being over cautious.
A few minutes later a Dr came out and told me he was having a heart attack and was about to be rushed to the chest hospital...
At that moment my world suddenly felt like it was about to fall apart.. |

This pregnancy continues to terrify me everyday, I miscarried a twin at the beginning of this pregnancy and have had to be monitored a lot for other things. I can’t enjoy being pregnant because I’m so on edge that I’ll miscarry like every other time :/
I’ve had scarier things happen, but this is the scariest that I can discuss. It still fucks me up |

She said it was the adrenaline rushing to the heart that can damage it. I stopped going after she told us about hyperventilating and passing out.
I came out and hyper ventilated on my way to the bus stop.
Never went back. |

I have really severe panic attacks to the point I pass out (although they haven’t been that bad for almost a year once). Most of it was due to anxiety, so my therapist wanted me to join a group therapy session...despite groups making me anxious and panicky... |

He spent two weeks in hospital, he had had myocarditis and apparently when admitted to hospital was only a few minutes away from potentially dying.
If i had not had that radiography appointment that morning i hate to yjink what would have happened. |

I hated group therapy. I didn't want to hear other people's problems or what made them anxious or panicky. I was severely phobic about everything at the time and anything someone spoke about made me think it would happen to me.
The only thing I did get from it was a breathing exercise that helps stave off a panic attack, and I still use it 19 years later.

my biggest fear is suicide or being sectioned again i live in fear of going back in that place. 14 years now but it was touch and go about 18 months ago but the home crisis team where excellent. Its the worst part having an illness even when you try and keep yourself well you never know when its going to take over |

I had a panic attack just out of the blue. Been at university the semester had just finished and I was on my way home. Waiting at the bus stop I had an overwhelming feeling of being unable to breathe. Fighting to take a breath. They didn't disappear overnight but I have fortunattely learnt to handle them and. And am lucky enough that they don't make much of an appearance now. |

Probably nothing compared to what some have shared and there is something raw with me that I can’t divulge at the moment.
Aside of that I think I was never so scared as when I went into labour, I was absolutely shitting it...! |

I was bleeding out after an artery in my leg ruptured, the doctors and nurses were running round in a mad panic. Strangely this calmness came over me even though I knew I could die, it was an odd feeling but one I wasn’t scared of. |

Having my first brain scan terrified me and then being told I have a brain tumour really affected me badly.
Also, I got lost walking in Slaidburn forest in the fog. I took a wrong turn and walked for hours. I had no water and thought I was doomed as it was December and absolutely freezing. |

I was walking through Hoxton/Shoreditch area one evening, cutting through the estates in order to get to a friends' place that lived at the bottom of Kingsland Road. I'd just been paid for the weekend's bar work and had a few hundred in cash on me, which wasn't really my style, as a general rule I never carry more than fifty on me unless I specifically need it, as otherwise I tend to fritter it away... But anyway I digress. As I was walking along the road some skinny youth in typical estate garb ie grey tracksuit with the hood pulled tight barges into me, shoves me into a nearby alley. "Wallet. Phone. Give it all to me. Now!" He's got his right hand stuffed into his pocket as if he's clutching a concealed weapon. The fact he is on his own worries me as normally these types move in groups and he's smaller than me so must be feeling pretty brave. "That's it" I thought to myself. "Today's the day when I find out exactly what getting stabbed i
feels like". I'm frozen to the spot. Then; a flash of movement. Kid pulls hand out of pocket and punches me dead in the jaw. Really bloody hard. But in doing so reveals the fact he is unarmed! I swear I have never felt so relieved! My confidence comes flooding back. "Is that seriously all you've got? Get the fuck out of my way!" I barged past him out of the alley and continued on my way at a brisk walk. "Come back here, I haven't finished with you" he yelled after me. I kept walking.
It was only later I realised he'd punched me so hard I couldn't bite or chew properly for nearly two weeks |

The things that scare me the most I can’t talk about but let’s say I have become increasingly scared of the disregard for life.
But there are some truly heartbreaking stories, cant even imagine what some of those events must have been like. |

Can't really go into details on here. Let's say that I was in potentially very serious danger in my family home. Those events leading up to my finally walking out of my home with nowhere particularly safe or secure to go and just walking out were very scary. I left the family home eleven years ago yesterday actually. |

I said no.
He turned 16 in January.

There are a few, but i would have to say the day i found out my mother was dying. I was still at that naive young age where i believed that tragedy only happened to others... until that day. After that, it triggered a fear and a knowing that people i love can be snatched away so quickly. So much so, that i still struggle to let people close. I guess you could say I'm still scared. |

this made me feel so sad...i'm sorry about your mother. there is always a reason not to let people close and I've been pushing people away recently and i am currently scared about money because I've been taken off my ESA. I seem to have lost contact with my grandma and sometimes it's easier to push people away isn't it? my uncle died suddenly and the other one was ill before he died. I am sending hugs, hope you can find it easier to let people close x |

That is very sweet of you. Thank you lovely  . You are right, it does seem easier to push people away sometimes. I'm currently trying very hard not to repeat that pattern, with someone i care very deeply about, because i know they are extremely special. I really hope you are able to overcome that fear and give people a chance and I'm very sorry to hear about your losses. I also hope you get a resolution in regards to your money worries. I'm sending you hugs back lovely and again, thank you for your kind words  x |

Had quite a few scary experiences, but the worst of them was going into labour prematurely with my daughter and thinking that she had no chance of surviving. |

Reading this thread makes you realise how difficult life can be for everybody and also how flipping brave we have to be.
It puts things into perspective.
Big hugs to you all x |

A spider once crawled over my shoulder whilst sat watching tv.
This might not sound that bad but when spiders scare you as much as they do me, it was a pretty big deal! |

I've been different type of scared.
A fair few time in my life and former career where I've face very credible mortal danger. Times when the difference between life and death seem more a matter of luck than something I had power over.
But the worst was a few years ago when my marriage broke up. The plan and vision of my happy family future destroyed. My security in A happy future turned doubt, fear and uncertainty without the woman I loved (at the time) and family that ment so much to me. A real fear of not living with my kids. Fear for my children's future. That was the time in my life I faced the greatest of fear in my life.
Luckily things came off ok. The kids stayed with me, I rebuilt and due to the magic of FAB I meet My Girl who is a far better woman than I could have ever dreamed to meet. She is perfect for me. |

"To finish the tale.... I said no.
You bloody sod! I’m here sobbing (worried about my toddlers pending brain scan)... then you hit me with he’s ok lol.... so relived for you x"
He's not OK, he never will be, but he's amazing, doesn't let anything stop him.
Self pity isn't in his vocabulary

Mine pales into comparison to most of the above. I never really feel stuff due my disorder however I learnt a very painful lesson in feelings the day my Girlfriend of ten years walked away before Christmas one year.
The sheer panic and fear of coming home alone and the uncertainty of the future was terrifying and utterly miserable for me. My whole world was wiped out in an instant. I was dealing with new feelings I had never had before.
I got by for years switching off doing a very hard emotive job but that experience scared the shit out of me.
Now because of it. I know I can cope it made me strong in many ways.
As I say pales to some of the above.
