Hello!
What do your panic/anxiety attacks feel like?
Most people seem to think panic attacks are all the same for everyone and that it’s just moments of panic (which it can be) but in my experience, panic attacks are physically painful as well which, I don’t think most people know either.
So tell me your experiences!

Hands trembling, weak legs, stomach churning, hard to breathe, increased heart rate, cannot think rationally/clearly
Words can't describe how bad it feels when it is happening
ReplyI can completely relate to this. The only thought that’s going through my mind when it starts happening is “I’m dying”.
ReplyIdk if this counts but when I was 13 I found an article that showed an article about what a demigirl is and how that works (it is indeed a gender that is part girl, for anyone confused). So I commented on that post (it was a fandom wiki) saying "Hey.. I think that's what I am! Thanks for the help!" So flash forward to about four months later, I'm pretty confident about this, I tell everyone on social media that I'm demigirl, I even consider getting a demigirl pin that says "she/they", and I go home, open up YouTube, and first thing I see is a video someone makes, he's showing off a comic about nonbinary genders, essentially calling them fake and saying that people who are nb grow out of it eventually. Idek why but this hits me really hard, when I'm done with the video I go right back to just "girl." I go on a HUGE deleting spree, taking down like 60% of my tweets, a bunch of IG posts, but I can't figure out how to delete the original Fandom comment I had sent. I lose it, I try editing it to say something else, shows my original comment too, try editing it again it to say my cousin did that (I don't have a cousin), didn't sound right, so I start hyperventilating, curled up and literally SHAKING over this (not saying that another kid who has dealt with this is invalid at all!), convinced that "they're all out to get me" (literally what my brain repeats again and again), I went bananas over this, man. Bonkers. This stuck with me for a good five months. Still stings when I see flop accounts posting children who are obviously figuring themselves out, who have some kind of weird identity. They ain't hurting anyone just leave it be :/
Tldr i went into what I think was an anxiety attack, it didn't feel like I was dying, rather that "everyone knows what you did". I don't really remember exactly how it went so I don't label it as one but it could still help, idk.
ReplyThis definitely counts. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I suffer from caring too much of what others think of me too. I end up seeing my self how I think they are seeing me. If someone says I’m fat, I’m fat. If someone says I laugh weird, I stop laughing. And so on. I’m always told not to pay attention to those things but it’s hard advice to follow so I won’t give it. I’ll just say that no one knows who you are but you. You are the only one that can tell you what to do, how you look, and who you are. The only persons opinion that matters is your own since you are in fact, stuck with yourself. And since you are stuck with yourself for your whole lifetime you might as well love yourself 🤷🏻♀️
Hope this helps in a way! ☺️ 💕
ReplyMine are like a pulse in my chest followed by a sharp pain all over. Then I start breathing less often and taking in sudden abrupt breaths but no one xan ever tell I'm having them
ReplyMine start with tingling on my lips and hands... they kind of feel like they're falling asleep, but then my hands will also clamp up so I can't move them. I also hyperventilate quite a bit sometimes.
ReplyWow everyone’s attacks are so different! 😮
