I wasn't expecting to have a small anxiety attack. I've never even had one before so I didn't know what the hell was happening to me. I called my mom because I'm an 18 year old high school student who lives with his mom. I think she of all people should be informed of the situation. I'm glad she was there with me.
sounds like you went into shock, not an anxiety attack.
about two years ago i was doing box squats and the index finger on my left hand got crushed between the bar and the support hook. cracked it right in half between the second and third knuckle, still got a scar there from it.
i hardly felt it, but i got dizzy and had to sit down for about five minutes or so, another guy in the gym told me it's just the body's natural reaction. i drove home after that and was too much of a moron to do anything beyond tape it up tight, so it's a little cockeyed now, but the "anxiety attack" is entirely normal when something like that happens unexpectedly.
