If you are stuck in a meeting and start to panic, how can you excuse yourself without embarrassment?

This is a tricky one as most interviewers already know what they want when they start the hiring process. Panic is a relative term however, if you are nervous mid interview and you have to excuse yourself. Honesty wouldn't hurt as it shows that you are willing to be honest and explain your deficiencies. Which is a great feature to have. If you're looking for generic escapes however, Anxiety, Bathroom, Emergency text from a friend etc. Although anything to excuse yourself from an interview puts the spotlight on you and depending on how you handle spotlights could potentially embarrass you. If I were in that situation, I would have to be honest and tell them how important the job was to me, explaining how I am anxious. I personally couldn't think of a better/Less embarrassing way as lying would only make it worse for myself personally.
