Emotions during panic attacks?

@LaynieJWest5661

A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear. Your heart pounds and you can't breathe. You may even feel like you're dying or going crazy. Left untreated, panic attacks can lead to panic disorder and other problems.

You find yourself helplessly frozen. Your heart is racing. Your chest is pounding. You cant catch your breath. You feel lightheaded. You feel faint. You think you might die right there on the spot.

Those who have had panic attacks are fearful of having another one. So they avoid being in places or situations in which they feel vulnerable or where theres no quick and easy escape. For some, this means they cant be alone. For others, it means they cant be with new people or in crowds of people. In their attempt to create a safe life, they inadvertently create a small life.

Some panic attacks are not so omnipresent, occurring only when zero hour draws near. Students panic before an exam. Hosts panic before their guests arrive. Actors panic before the curtain rises. Working folks panic before their annual evaluations. Patients panic before their medical test.

My panic attacks are/were very scary, my vision gets blurry, I feel like I can't breathe and my heart feels like it's stabbed with knives, my thoughts races and I feel like i'm going to die, I get panicked about having an attack so that makes it worse.

Anxiety, haha ;)
I feel sick, my stomach hurts, I get a headache. Everything starts to feel very "bright" (sounds, vision). Everything bothers me a lot!
My legs feel like jelly and I start sweating.

I feel the most that cold and warm not waves, but tsunamis literally lol It's really bad, I hate panic attacks.

I want to hide in a room where it is dark and quiet. Not silent. I want nothing more than to be alone but I have become good at hiding it so people don't know anymore. I am terrified I will lose control so I try to secure myself somewhere safe.

Emotional-wise I usually feel very upset, exhausted, crazy and really agitated. I get snappy sometimes if my bf is trying to talk me down and "says the wrong thing" or something. He knows it's just the panic attack talking but it sucks that it makes me so mean on top of all the other stuff that's happening at the time.

When I get panic attacks, I usually feel very lost, angry and/or guilty. These feelings can become so overwhelming that they result in shaking, sweating, increased heart rate and hyperventilating.

I recently had a panic attack and let me tell you my experience.

It just sucks.

It just sucks.

At first I started crying but the more i thought about it, the more I started freaking out. And my asthma was not helping at all.

You feeling like you have no control over everything.

Thoughts are running all over the place in your mind.

Everything feels so surreal.

It just sucks.

BUT after I had my panic attack I quit doing stuff that was stressing me out and now I feel relieved tbh. I feel less stressed.

Panic attacks are terrible. I lose control of myself. It sometimes feels like you're going to die. My heart pounds, and breathing is tiring. I lose the sense of reality, and all you can do it tell yourself that it will pass.

It's different for everyone. My friend usually feels like crying, has bad anxiety, shakes, and sweats a lot. There are so many different ways you can experience it.
