Hi gang! First time poster. Great site by the way. My granny lives next door to us. I called in yesterday morning. I was the only peron in our house. I found my granny lying on the floor struggling to breathe. I just took complete control. I phoned for the ambulance and calmed gran down and got her to hospital where she's doing great. I was thinking about this last night. I am painfully shy and I can't believe just how confident I was in that crisis. If I had been told maybe a few days ahead of time that I would have to do what I did I would never had responded at all. What's the point of all this? I am great in a crisis but hopeless when I have time to think.
Anybody else like this?

Welcome to SHY United Amy. I have found that I work well in a crisis but not so well when I have time. A few weeks ago I took control of sectioning my older brother. Like you, if somebody had told me that I would have to section my brother in a couple of weeks time I would have run away from it.

I'll keep your granny in my prayers.
I haven't really had any experiences like that. I do have a 15 month old boy and he has had a huge impact on my shyness. I think that having to take care of another human being causes you to find the strength that was always inside of you. Worrying about myself and what other people are thinking is no longer an option.

I was thinking about your gran last night. I have seen so much of hospitals in the last few months its unbelievable. It seems that every time I'm out in the car an ambulance drives by.
