OMW, I just nearly lost my mind at work.
I have been doing so well for nearly three weeks and apart from a touch of claustrophobia I am moving forward.
However, I just went downstairs to get approval on a travel claim and the guy who helped me is either sick, or he has a problem with his breathing in general because the entire time it sounded like he was having an asthma attack.. he can only say a few words and then takes these breaths that sounds like he is battling his backside off to get some air into his lungs.
It completely freaked me out - no panic or anxiety attack, but MAN, I just had to get out of there ASAP. I could feel my lungs closing up on his behalf. Gosh, it must be awful!!
This after I HAD to attend a meeting this morning in a concert hall located in the basement of one of our university buildings. No windows. No fresh air. Loads of people. *Breathe in, breathe out.*
I made it ok though, it only lasted an hour and I didn't freak out.
Anyway, all is under control. Just wanted to share this.
