What to expect in a panic attack?
Post Body

I am feeling suddenly anxious. Not the breathlessness signs or strong physical symptoms.

But I'm brought to tears and am feeling terrified and not great at all.

There's no obvious trigger, it's like the evening culiminated into this suddenly. Like an unpredictable downpour of rain after a cloudy evening.

My mind seemed buzzed, I felt restless, worked up. A little undercurrent sexual impulses but without matching emotional or mental components. Soon overcome by a strong desire for a hug ans someone to hold me, calm me maybe.

I don't know what's happening. I know i feel terrified (maybe a few many notches less than terrorised). Maybe burning or more like fluttery sensation in heart area. And crying. Crying seems to help, like a salve of some sort, releasing whatever it is like sweat does heat

I did have transient thoughts about future and feelings helpless or not ready to face tomorrow or do anything i had planned during the day. But it seemed more like an effect of this spreading rippling darkness casting a shadow over everything rather than them (those thoughts) forming this.

Does this sound like a panic attack? Is this something else? What is it.

Can I get help. 😢😭😖
