Depression/ anxiety one shots

You know what to do ( anxiety)

We were walking through the fair holding hands. The sun was setting . Lights twinkled above us . Everything was just like it was out of one of those cheesy romance movies and then it happened.

Out of nowhere I felt my heart begin to race and I was having trouble breathing .

He noticed and said, " Anna, hey are you okay ? What's going on?"

I was pretty experienced in having panic attacks so I told him through heavy breaths, " I'm having a panic attack , can we please get to some place private ."

He nodded and pulled me behind one of the snack buildings . He had seen me have this happen before so he knew what to do to help .

" Okay babe, sit down ." He said as he took my hand and helped me to the ground .

He sat behind me and pulled my back into his chest . I started to cry and my lips, nose , and legs got all tingly . I was still breathing heavily and then I felt his hand rub up and down the outer part of my thigh . This is what helped calm me down usually but it was taking longer this time .

Through tears I whispered out , " It's not working."

He looked worried for a millisecond but then refocused himself on helping me .

" I'm going to pull you in closer okay honey? Does that sound alright ?" He asked gently .

I nodded and he wrapped one of his arms around me while he used his other hand to play with my hair , which I love .

He could feel my heart beating rapidly and so he started to hum a song I listen to when I'm alone to try to calm myself down.

I begun to feel my heart rate slowing back down and my breathing became less heavy. I continued to sit there another 5 minutes or so until I felt like trying to get up .

I turned my head to face him and said , " Thank you , I think I'm ready to get up now ."

He got up and then helped me up . He engulfed me in a huge hug and then kissed me .

" I love you baby and I know this is so hard, but you are so amazing and you'll keep getting through this ." He said and he grasped my hand as we walked to the car to go home.
