warnings: panic attack
age: 16Y/N:
Tony's parties have never been something I enjoy. There are always way too many people and I've never been good with strangers. I feel like my whole body just shuts down in that kind of environment. Over time I've gotten better at handling my social anxiety, I usually just stay with a Peter since we are both underage and everyone else is usually by the bar or dancing.I'm getting ready for another party tonight, this is the third one this month. I feel so anxious about it, and if it wasn't Steve's birthday I would probably just stay up in my room.
It's now 8pm and Peter and I are heading down. I can feel my whole body start to tense up and I try my best not to show how anxious I am.
"Are you okay Y/N?" Peter asked in a concerned tone.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit anxious Pete, that's all." I say. "Okay. I've you need to leave just tell me and we can go watch a movie or something."
I just nodded and gave him a smile.As we walked into the party I saw that there were way more people than there usually was. I started to freak out but quickly composed myself when I saw my mom walking over to me.
"Hi my beautiful girl, are you alright?" She asked, knowing how bad my social anxiety can be. "Yeah, I'm fine." I told her, trying to hide my emotions. She cocked an eyebrow at me.
"I promise mom, I'll be okay." I said not wanting to worry her. "Okay sweetie, please just come and get me if you need me. I'll be over at the bar." She smiled and gave me a kiss on my forehead before leaving.It's about an hour into the party and after Peter and I found Steve to wish him a happy birthday we both went over and sat down on the couch. He started rambling to me trying to distract me from my own mind. I just sat there and listened, barely saying two words.
Peter could see that I was only getting more and more anxious so he pulled me into a hug and started stroking his hands through my hair.After about 10 minutes of sitting like that my breathing started to get really heavy.
"Pete, I just need to go the bathroom, I'll be back."
"You okay love?" he said with a very concerned look on his face.
"Mhm." I nodded and put on a fake smile holding back my tears.I felt a tear drop. "Actually Pete, can you please get my mom and tell her to meet me in the bathroom?" I ask, trying not to have a full on panic attack in front of everyone.
"Yeah of course." Peter replied quickly, getting up to find Natasha.I made it to the bathroom and closed the door behind me fighting for air. I've had panic attacks before but this one felt really bad.
Natasha:
I was over at the bar pouring drinks when I saw Peter practically running over to me."Peter, what is it?" I ask. "It's Y/N, I think she's having a panic attack. She's in the bathroom" he said trying to catch his breath. "Damn it, okay thank you kid." I say.
I rushed over to the bathroom and knocked on the door. "Y/N it's mama, can I come in?" I soothed. There was no response so I opened the door to find my daughter on the floor fighting to breathe.
"Oh my baby, it's okay. Mama is here now. I want you to try to follow my breathing okay."
She noddedAfter a while she was still really struggling to breathe which made her only panic even more.
"Mama, I-it's not w-w-working." she told me. "I-I feel like I-I I'm g-gonna pass o-out." I could see the fear in her eyes.
I sat down next to her and pulled her into my arms. I could see that this wasn't a regular panic attack, this was probably the worst I've seen her have.
"Okay Y/N, I'm gonna need you to name 5 things you can see." I said in a stern but comforting voice.
"Uh, y-you, the s-s-sink, toilet, t-the door a-and the soap.""Good job, now 4 things you can feel."
"Y-your arms, the tiles, m-my dress, and t-the wall.
"Okay, now 3 things you can hear."
"Your v-voice, the music and t-talking."
"You're almost there. What are two things you can smell?"
"T-the candle and and your perfume."
"One more to go. What's one thing you can taste?"
"The mint I had before."
Her breathing had really calmed down and I just held her in my embrace.
"Well done my beautiful girl, I'm so proud of you. How about we go up to your room and we can just watch a movie or something?"
She nodded and said "Thank you mama. Can Peter come too?" I smiled. "I'm always here sweetie, and yes of course Peter can join.""I love you mom"
"I love you too, detka."
