Help! I seriously hate dances but I want to go anyways! The big crowds, loud music, and energetic people give me panic attacks. I'm not kidding! Stop laughing! I feel a lot more comfortable at dances if I have a small group of close girlfriends to hang out with. And this guy really wants me to ask him and I can't because it'll make me feel tied down which makes me more prone to panic attacks! Or, do you know of like a medicine that'll calm me down? What should I do? Please help me! I don't want anybody to have to call an ambulance!
P.S. If you're wondering why I still want to go even though I have panic attacks, I just don't want to miss out on good times with my friends!

I can't think of any medicine, but I'm not sure that's a good idea,I mean taking medicine when ur not sick YET is kinda dangerous. Try VERY hard to relax, and just breathe. Take deep breaths and do what u want to, if u don't want to, then don't ask the guy.Enjoy the time with your friends, and don't freak out. Hope I helped!
whoa that was cool, i just deleted my comment! oh well, what I said was that cold water helps with shock and wakes people up and stuff.
get a doctor they will help u
yes, talk to a doctor with your parents to get a recommendation for medication.
yea just dont have a spaz attack on the dance floor and u will b ok
wat do u not like about dances??? there is this one medicine that one of my friends takes for panic attacks but i dont kno the name... ill ask her and post the name of it.
first, a lot of it is mental
so, what u need to do, is mentally take the pressure off. I kno how "zen" it sounds but it really works. Think that since uve warned all ur friends and this guy, if u ask him, they will understand if it happens. Second, go to your happy place. Im not kidding! Really, just start thinking and block out the world around u if u need to(first tell ur friends and the guy, if u ask him, though, so they dont think ur ignoring them)
Also, at a formal, chances are they do not have as loud music, and if i remember, the music wasn't that loud, it was all the screaming and talking. Plus, i think there will either be less "energetic"(the nice way to say it) people at a formal, or they will either be better controlled, or calmed themselves more
also, what do u mean ull feel tied down? what does that mean, "tied down"? one, if he likes u back, dont worry about him thinking things, like "wow! shes weird dances make her freak out" or "she doesnt like me cuz she wont dance with me", Im sure he wont mind, plus if u mention it to him b4hand, he will be prepared and definetely wont mind, or he might even be able to help u. U kno, talk to u, or (dont take this the wrong way) take u somewhere else, like outside, or into the hall, so u cna calm down.
all in all u dont really need meds (yes i kno it wuz a REEEEEEAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLYYYYYYY long post)
that was a bit long nerd genius m.d.
think of ur happy place????? wat planet r u from????
and i kno wat u mean about being "tied down" if u invite someone as ur date u cant just leave them and talk to ur friends. u have to stay and talk to them.
im not helping, am i??
oh well
SRRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
well, first, most believe I am not f4rom earth, so...jk, but seriuously!, it works, its all about mentally removing yourself from that place, "go to your happy place", is just a silly, cliche, everody-understands-it way of saying it
also, talk to him b4hand (if u ask him) and tell him, sometimes, u might need to just talk to ur friends, and therefore he'll be prepared, and tell him he can go talk to his friends, so he'll have something to do if that comes up
oh, and there is new info.
One, any "energetic people" will be forced to sit down. So, there's one probem fixed.
Two, I don't think there will be any big crowds because:People have things to do, parents, the time, friends not going, no dates, conflict, something else up that day, bus suspension, ATM, ISS, OSS, etc., not being social, the dress code, for reasons like yours
and thats another problem down
three, there isnt all that much u can do about the music, maybe move to a different area or ask them to turn it down. also, if two out of three of your panic attack causes are eliminated, theres a good chance u wont have any panic attacks
also, make sure he knows about this so he can help or reassure u
