I mentioned my panic attack in a recent post and some time earlier too. I blame my fear of water on bad experiences in the bath as a baby. Wikipedia defines panic as a sudden sensation of fear, which is so strong as to dominate or prevent reason and logical thinking, replacing it with overwhelming feelings of anxiety. Which goes plain contrary to the usual instinct for self preservation - how does that work?
And how would I have fared two days in a dark underwater cave running out of oxygen? I like to think I am a survivor but, frankly and thankfully, I haven't yet had all that much to survive from.
