Embarrassed About Panic Attack

...See more Yesterday I had a mild panic attack during a work dinner and awards night. I was able to leave the dinner table briefly, but had to stay at the event for 2+ hours. I felt varying levels of anxiety throughout the night, but tried to remain calm and interact pleasantly with those around me. Though I was uncomfortable, I thought I did a reasonably good job masking my anxiety/panic symptoms. Today, I was confronted by an acquaintance who sat beside me at the dinner. She asked why I was so angry and upset all night and if I just didn’t like the group I was seated with. I confided in her that I was not at all angry, but struggled with anxiety at the event. Her response was not very supportive or comforting. I’m so embarrassed and I’m afraid she will gossip about me.
