For one I did not over - react in FRONT of anyone , I was in the car after my appointment in severe distress . I feel now I ca n't allow myself to feel distress or fear or panic . I ca n't react to situations or reach out and ask for support because then I am being childish and acting out . I needed help badly the other day before I did something dangerous and all I get now is my wrist slapped like a naughty child .
