Had a panic attack this morning

I was exhausted last night so I passed out early in my motel bed. I had a flight to catch at 10:30 this morning.

I woke up and it felt like I had been sleeping for a while. I look toward the window and it looks like daylight through the white curtain. I check my phone and it’s after 11:00.

I immediately jump out of bed and just start scrambling to pack my bag. I knew I missed my flight but for some reason still felt compelled to rush around in a state of panicked confusion. My heart rate was hitting its limits. Missing a flight isn’t the biggest deal in the world, but at that moment it felt like I had forgotten I was getting married that day or something. It was surreal.

After a solid three or four minutes running around with my heart pounding out of my chest, for some reason I decided to take a peek out the window - it was still night time. Outside my window were bright lights which made it appear like daylight when looking out through the white window curtain. Talk about a sense of relief.

Edit: I know this wasn’t a true “panic attack” as defined by medical professionals. Jesus Christ I was just using it as an expression.
