Rave - Incident Response of WA

Sorry I have not been posting lately. But I wanted to tell you all about something that happened Tuesday, Feb 24. I was planning on going to Babies-R-Us with Baby Girl to pick up some items for my cousins baby shower. Even before leaving my neighborhood I started feeling odd but tried to put it out of my head. I get on the freeway at the 145th entrance and shortly after started having a panic attack. I tried to think of other things and even got Baby Girl singing with me but I soon realized it wasn't ending. I wound up pulling over before the 177th street exit and immediately called my husband at work. Luckily he was somewhat free and able to talk to me to try to calm me down. But the panic attacks kept coming, they wouldn't stop. I was on the phone with my husband for about 10 minutes when a Washington State Incident Response truck showed up. He came over to make sure I was ok and when I told him I was having a panic attack he offered to call an aid car for me. Knowing I wasn't dying, I thanked him and refused (even though inside I really wanted someone else there to tell me I was ok), I knew their time would be better used helping someone else.

After talking with my husband for about 20 minutes I realized they were not going to stop and someone needed to come and get us. Being shaky and light-headed I was in no shape to drive. Also lucky that my in-laws run a family business so my husband was able to call them and send someone out to get us. And during this whole time the Incident Response guy stayed behind me. At one point he even moved my car further off the road. So I want to send out a big THANK YOU from Baby Girl and myself!
