Tazzie, what an awful experience that must have been for you. The first time I went out after the start of lockdown I was fighting off a panic attack and I was only going to meet a friend at the beach, nothing like what you're facing on a day to day basis. Do you do breathing exercises? As a fellow asthmatic I have found them useful in warding off a panic attack, it certainly helped on that occasion. Very glad to hear that you're feeling so much better. Don't worry about sharing with us, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we're pleased to lend an ear and hope it helps.
Caroline, please don't feel stupid, we're all affected in different ways by this crisis and there will always be some people who have absolutely dreadful experiences but it doesn't mean that your feelings count for any less.
