I want to read this even though it is about a plane crash. I‘ve liked nearly all Jenna Bush Hager‘s book picks, so I am willing to try this one. #BookAboutSomethingYouFear #AuldLangReads

OriginalCyn620 That‘s a fear of mine too! 5y
MallenNC @OriginalCyn620 And our play today didn‘t help! 5y
MissAimz_55 I feel like I‘m the weirdo that reads about plane crashes or watches movies about disasters before i go on a plane or while I‘m on it. 5y
MallenNC @MissAimz_55 Yeah, I would never do that. I try to put it as far out of my mind as I can. 5y

The idea of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is beyond my comprehension.

This cover makes me cringe! 😱 I don‘t want snakes anywhere near me, let alone ON me!! Unless it‘s in the form of a pair of killer heels. 👠

I fear the loss of my lucidity: as in dementia or Alzheimer‘s

Day 19 - #BookAboutSomethingYouFear #AuldLangReads
#LittleBearGoesToTheCarWash

While riding through the car wash, the car was moving slowly and the water was hitting the windshield. I got a panic attack as I thought that I would drown if I didn‘t get through the car wash quicker. I know it sounds silly but anyone who has had panic attacks would understand that I cannot go through again. I now fear another panic attack more than the car wash.

DieAReader I definitely can understand! If it helps, I try to intently focus on keeping my breathing steady & slow when panic attacks hit me. Doesn‘t always work but, for me it often does. Music & a worry stone also help me. 📚🎶 5y
EadieB @SquidgetsRoom The man who operates the carwash told me that he has a lot of customers who cannot go through the car wash so that made me feel better. I have been through the car wash so many times before and I was so surprised that I had that panic attack. I am also very claustrophobic and I think moving so slowly brought out that feeling too. But I will remember you breathing techniques. Thanks! 5y
Crazeedi @EadieB I had my first panic attack while driving, I pulled over tank goodness my hubby was with me, but i thought it was the end, truly. I have become more claustrophobic as I've gotten older too. Panic attacks are no joke. Deep breathing does help but sometimes its hard. I usually have to take something. 5y

OriginalCyn620 Doesn‘t sound silly at all! All sorts of things can bring on panic attacks. The upside is that now you know and can avoid it! 5y
EadieB @OriginalCyn620 True! Panic attacks are the worst feeling! @Crazeedi S0 scary! 5y
Scochrane26 I used to love the car wash when I was young but have felt claustrophobic when I go through now. I rarely use one. 5y
LeslieO I hate going thru the car wash! 5y
