Panic Attacks During Tickle Sessions

[tj77]

Wanted some advice on this. I've played tickle games with my gf for over a year and have been tickled hysterical on several occasions with no ill effects. Last week though during a tickle I kinda freaked out. During the tickling I just suddenly had this panic attack. I shouted my safeword several times and she quickly let me loose. I was hyperventilating and shaking but quickly recovered. Blood pressure and heart are fine as always. I got another clean bill of health. Just for some reason I hit a panic trigger. I don't know why. Has anyone else had this phenomenon? Is it a random fluke? It's the first time I ever experienced it. Any advice?

I have yes but not during a tickle session so i can't explain as to why you had experienced this hopfully its just this time

Hopefully it was just a fluke. As she did respect your safeword, I would say you should go ahead and have more sessions.

I've been told that panic attacks have a habit of hitting a person when they are relaxed, and earlier stress of the days can be the triggers. Ie, for me, when i have my worst panic attacks, I was at home playing video games or in class, both times being totally relaxed. It was during the day earlier that i was stressed.

At any rate, I'd say just keep the play light for now, until your no longer worried about getting a panic attack, and just go from there.
