You were just fine 25 minutes ago. You were messaging in the group chat with Chase, Madison, Rudy, Drew, Jonathan, Austin and Madelyn and you were all having fun but, then another panic attack hit you.
You were on your knees on the floor sobbing and shaking. You have had bad anxiety for as long as you could remember. You were seeing a therapist but, sometimes the anxiety still could sneak up on you when you least expected it.
And now was not a good time for this to happen. You all were going to have to film some scenes at night but, you were not going to be able to to that when you were having an anxiety attack. You didn't even know why it happened this time, sometimes it just happened for no reason at all.
While you were there on the floor sobbing, you herd the door to your trailer open. You had no idea who it was but, you couldn't even turn your head around to look to see who it was. You felt like you were frozen in place.
"Y/N?" You herd Madelyn's voice behind you. "Y/N, are you okay?" She asked as she walked around so she was now in front of you, so she could see your face. You finally got the strength to look up at her.
Your eyes were puffy and bloodshot, your cheeks were tear stained, your mascara was running, your were shaking, you were having trouble taking deep breaths, and you were still sniffling and sobbing.
"Oh my god!" She said as she sat down on the floor in front of you. She took both of your hands and held them, giving them a gentle, soothing squeeze. "Y/N, it's okay, just breathe, okay?" She said.
"I- I- I- I can't." You said as you let out a strangled sob.
"Yes you can. Let's take deep breathes together okay? Please just try." She said. You nodded. "Okay, take three deep breathes with me, okay?" She said. You nodded again. She gave you a warm, comforting smile.
"Okay, 1." She said. She began to take a deep breathe. You tried to take a deep breathe as well. "2." She said before taking another deep breathe. You did so too with her the second time. "and 3." She said before taking another deep breathe. You once again did what she did.
Your crying had settled a little but, you were still in panic mode.
"I want you to repeat what we just did, okay?" She asked. You nodded. "Okay good, try it out for me." She said. You did as she asked and took 3 deep breaths slowly. She praised you as you did so. You were starting to feel your body slowly untense.
"You're doing so good Y/N." She said and gave your hands another gentle, soothing squeeze. You smiled a little. You kept taking deep breathes as she held your hands and would sometimes rub your arm and back in a soothing way.
"How do you feel now?" She asked.
"I still feel kind of nervous but, I feel a lot better than I did when you first came in." You said with a sniffle.
"That's good!" She said. "And it's okay if your still a little nervous, now that you are calm your nerves should calm down. Just try to distract yourself." She said.
"How?" You asked.
"Well, I know a way." She said. "Madison, Carlacia and I are going out to get some fast food, want to come with us? My treat." She said.
"Sure." You said with a smile.
"Okay great!" She said as she got up off the floor before helping you get off the floor. "Come on, let's go." She said with a smile as the two of you walked out together.
