The first one I really recognized was at Thanksgiving. The only reason I attributed it to an anxiety problem was because I've had a reoccurring issue since. Many years ago, though, there was an incident that was very scary. I was in a coffee shop waiting in line. I had been feeling strange and all of the sudden I began to get the shakes and tunnel vision. I quickly walked outside to get fresh air, but the tunnel vision got worse and then I was completely blind. Not only was I blind, but I could not tell which way was up, down, left, or right. I assumed I would just collapse out there on the side walk, but I didn't! There I was on a city street groping around like a blind person. Only when I heard the door open and my friend call out to me could I get my barings. Then, like a bad dream, everything came back to normal. My poor friend was standing there holding my arm with a look on her face as though she'd seen a ghost. She was more frightened than I was! Similar instances have happened since, but nothing like that!
