What Would You Do?

If you have ever been afraid, if you ever been scared, would you know how to help someone who doesn’t know how to help themselves? Would you be able to help someone who gets so scared that they are unable to comprehend the world around them? How would you help them?

Addressing a situation such as fear in another person, is something that is difficult for others to see. People turn their heads when a child is crying or a woman is screaming in dark alleyway. Would you walk by if that person was someone you knew?

The reason for bringing this up is because what would you do if a person you know suddenly had a panic attack or was crying and screaming in fear of something you cannot see? When someone has a panic attack and is afraid, their entire mind shuts down from comprehension of the rest of reality. We don’t digest that is happening other than the fear that is surrounding us. People sometimes make jokes about it, thinking it is nothing, that it is just an act. It never is. The fear becomes so overwhelming that are paralyzed.

So what would you do if this happened to someone you knew?
