Panic attacks are the absolute worst!!! I remember the first time I had one and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. I couldn’t breath and seriously thought I might be dying. Then the anxiety kicked in and it was like a whole thing. I haven’t had one in about three months so I’m feeling pretty good about that.
Panic oh boy! Panic is just the worst! I have these quite often. I do a online home schooling program. So I still have live classes with peers and teachers, along with required assignments. So for example, I'm taking Spanish II. I had the dreaded, at least for me, speaking test today!! I just cant! It took me like 25 min microphone in hand of shaking, excessive sweating, heart pounding, worrying that I would sound stupid and that my voice is gross, a severe headache all just to get 5 Spanish sentences recorded to my teacher... so yeah.....Its a struggle.

I always think, after the fact, like logically, of course no one is thinking those horrible things about me, but I can’t help it when I’m panicking. Smh... I’ll bet you sounded just fine and everyone else was probably just worried about their own speech.

You know I'm still trying to figure out why we think these things..It is hard to control. Aw! Thanks! I do wish for one minute I could see for a second through someone without panic or anxiety's mind to see If they worry as much as our brains do! I wonder. It must be so refreshing! :)

Definitely try the art of distraction. If that works... autocorrect screenshots are always hilarious, or adorable/funny animal videos on YouTube. And remember it’s always temporary. Panic cannot last forever and soon, very soon, it’ll go away.

Thanks! It's getting a little better. I'll probably go to bed soon
(!!!)I had a panic attack yesterday...
And now, I'm not feeling good... My body temperature's too high, my heart beat is really fast, my head is pounding, I'm not able to breathe, I cried around an hour ago... I donno what to do...

Well, that does sound like a run of the mill panic attack. If it doesn't go away, I suggest urgent care or the ER. They'll give you some medicine to calm you down if you need it 😊 We're here for you

Don’t be scared, the body can’t keep up that level of panic for a really long time. Have you ever considered getting a script for Xanax? I take one or two of those when I start to panic and within twenty minutes it gets better. I think Tucker is right, time for the doc. Do you have anyone who can take you?...

It doesn't happen often... I guess something that happened this week triggered it
Deepthi you should take anti depressant if symptoms are worsening .
(!!!)Usually, I panic just by having my heart beat fast and not being able to talk or having my voice shake but in the summer I started having full on panic attacks. I was shaking and I couldn't breathe. I was torn between feeling like crying and not wanting to show any more weakness.
This is a kind of happy story though? I still have problems with panic and withdraw myself in panic situations but after I started my meds and started doing breathing exercises when I felt that a panic attack is coming I didn't have a big attack since early autumn? It still may come back, of course, but now I feel like I have something I can fight back with :)
Being weak is showing that you're human. It's alright if you are being human...That's really good! :)

Agreed! Sadly, my inability to showing weakness (and most of the emotions tbh) is an ongoing discussion with my therapist 😶😶

Lol, I'm kinda the opposite. Sometimes, I overshare my feelings and I let them out too often

I over-share as well but mostly when it comes to being frustrated or being pissed off (and even then I focus on what've happened and I don't name my emotions). Sometimes even happy. But when I'm sad or ashamed or scared or etc. I tend to keep my mouth shut.
I guess I've chosen some emotions I find 'acceptable' to share and fill the blanks of the emotions I suppress :P
I'm still trying to calm down from my most recent panic attack about 30 minutes ago. Will anyone talk to me?
Mod
Hi! Sorry to hear that! Is the panic attack still going on?
Watching relaxing videos or listening to music sometimes helps me after a panic attack

No, but still a bit anxious because of it

Will anyone talk to me?"I'm really sorry you're dealing with that right now. After a panic attack, I get really tired and exhausted, so I usually end up falling asleep, but when i need to get hw etc done, I have a small snack like a granola bar. The crunching and mundane task usually helps get my mind onto other things and finish calming down
Also, feel free to pm if you ever want to talk
has anyone ever felt like a floating head during a panic attack? like disassociated with their own body?
