Bizarre and terrifying derealization experience--panic attack?

16. Don't be too hard on hubby. We men sometimes don't listen as we try to solve problems ...

outside our ken.

Like Red Green says: I'm a man. I can change. If I have to.

On a positive note, your blood pressure was good and says you were actually pretty calm about a pretty scary episode.

I blacked out for the first time in my life a few weeks ago, I remember feeling unwell and telling myself I could hack it - just breathe and sip water (I was in a restaurant with friends). And looked up to see the whole table looking at me in almost wide eyed alarm. I was told I was babbling and had been "out" for several minutes. The show was good enough to quiet the restaurant.

I think you handled your episode much better than I did: I left the restaurant in major embarrassment just before EMS showed up. I have been borderline diabetic for a couple of years and have been controlling it with diet. The weird thing for me is I kind of remember talking to someone not at the table as I came to. I guess that was what the babbling was about.

Please take of yourself.
