I was once hit by a car on the way to a casting session, does that count as crashing out? Asking for an older friend.

Haha good question! I would classify this as a car crash but not a crashing out.

It wasn’t a public crash out but during Covid I worked so much and I was so overwhelmed and stressed out that I had a panic attack (?) on a random Wednesday afternoon and floated above my body for approx 10 seconds straight and saw myself sitting at my computer working away in photoshop as if I was a ghost on the ceiling and I thought I died.

This is the kind of answers I was looking for! I have been there and it’s good to know I’m not alone. Thank you. I hope you’re in a better place!

Never had a crash out. I quit before it got that bad. We all need to learn when to set boundaries or walk away.
