The anxiety crisis story that made me cry my eyes out.

Today I’ll tell you about the anxiety crisis story that made me cry my eyes out.

Mom’s friend is really scared of flying and, one day, flew to another state alone, unacompanied.

The closer to the scheduled time, the more panic she felt. She went into a full anxiety crisis and couldn’t breathe and calm down.

Desperate, she called her husband, tried to take medication, but nothing calmed her down.

She boarded and sat on the window, the middle seat remained empty, and on the corridor, an elder (a lovely lady) who heard everything she said to her husband.

She began small talking to mom’s friend and, a bit shy, told her she’d overheard her talking to her husband. She calmly explained she knew what the panic of flying was like because she’d felt it before.

That’s why she knew so many breathing techniques. She held mom’s friend’s hand and began teaching her how to count the breaths properly, telling nice stories, asking different things, and really distracting the friend while the plane took off.

The friend spent the entire flight at ease, and when it was time to land. The elder asked if she needed help again, grabbed her hand, and did the same relaxing technique so she calmed down.

The friend said this elder was sent by God herself to help her. And believes it was a sign that she was protected and everything would be ok. I think so too, what about you?

There are still good people in the world and, someday, they might cross paths with you.
