I don't think I've ever really TRULY been terrified. But my mind tends to block out a lot of unpleasant stuff so maybe I just can't remember right now.

I hope I never am.

A few times recently though I've woken up in the middle of the night b/c...I don't know saliva went down my windpipe or something and I could feel it starting to go down the wrong way. And I've had to very carefully and slowly breath out fully and then in rather than breathing in first like I want to or coughing. And I realize that I really have to be careful in how I handle that or I'll end up in serious trouble. It doesn't sound too bad but when it's happening it's really scary. And I live alone so there's no one to help me if I choke.
