[Serious]When have you over-reacted to a situation?

Let me start of by saying that I have anxiety, which can get incredibly bad if I am expected to do something alone that I've never done.

Last year I was supposed to get stamps from the post office. I didn't know exactly how to do that since it was my first time but they explained it to me and so off I went.

Once I was actually in the post office, I had no idea where I had to go. There were just so many counters and I didn't want to go to the wrong counter because I didn't want to look like an imbecile. So I stumbled around the office for like 10 minutes, looking for some sort of literal sign which would tell me where I could find those stamps.

At this point, I could feel my anxiety acting up and so I did what I probably should have done in the first place which was to just ask somebody. Only they ignored me and walked right past me.

So long story short, I left the post office and had a panic attack.

Yay me
