  You don't have to apologise, you haven't done anything wrong. It is true that since people can experience sudden health issues very young, I was one of them. But if your only evidence for that happening is that you recently ate a common food that happened to be high in sugar, then there's no sign at all that this is something you are experiencing. You have no symptoms of diabetes, and blood tests as evidence that you don't have it.

  You shouldn't ignore symptoms, which is why you need to look at the symptoms of anxiety that you seem to be experiencing. A panic attack is not something most people regularly experience, and definitely not because they broke their own omad rule with a food that has high sugar levels.

  Please, look into deep breathing techniques fir the panic attacks and doctors who specialize in anxiety near you. I wish you all the luck and best, I know how anxiety can paralyze and negatively affect your life. But the good news is that you aren't powerless to change it.

      Thanks, I try. I know what it's like to have subjective symptoms of something larger and medically very real dismissed by others to the point where more permanent damage is done than was ever necessary. While I don't wish that experience on anyone, it sadly seems almost a necessary experience for many people in order to be able to engage others with compassion.

      I wish there were more empathy, especially in lemmy.world comments. I had hoped better for the fediverse than the current patterns of hostility in social media towards others with different life experiences.
