Is it normal to feel uncomfortable moving and talking during an anxiety or panic attack?

Completely! One who's undergoing such a hard experience shouldn't be expected to walk or talk. However, if a person prefers walking and talking during their attack then that's completely up to them.

I feel that it is. Often, I feel trapped inside of myself when I'm experiencing anxiety. I do not want to talk to anyone, except for my boyfriend, and, even though it isn't good for me, I want to be alone with myself and my thoughts.

DEFINITELY, yes, it is. Because of probable raised blood pressure, you may feel tingling in your extremities, Also weakness in those areas. You may feel your tongue is dry and swollen or a number of other symptoms! If you possible can, during these episodes, please try to get to a position where you lie on the floor and place your entire legs up upon a couch or chair. This brings blood to the brain and is similar to a 'tilt-table' relief provided in hospitals. Doing this and breathing in through the nose for 6 counts and out through the mouth 6 counts. should provide relief. Also, ALWAYS check in with your doctor to make sure your physical health is fine so you can reassure yourself during attacks that you AREN'T going to die or be permanently injured. As a panic/anxiety attack survivor, I know al these to be key! Try to isolate yourself, if you can, to perform these exercises during an attack and make it through. :)

yes this is absolutely normal to behave this way. However do try some anxiety relieving exercises to overcome the situation.

Absolutely, oftentimes panic attacks can make you feel like you cannot move at all and your thoughts may become louder than usual, making talking difficult. Most activities would feel uncomfortable during a state of heightened anxiety or panic.

It is normal to feel uncomfortable moving and talking during an anxiety or panic attack because you're afraid what will happen next and when you remain in one spot you feel more safer then.

It can be. Most anxiety or panic attacks are different for everyone. Some people may just sweat alot, others may have chest pain and shallow breath. So, that could very well be normal. :)

Yes it is because you’re in a state of panic, when that happens it can be a fluster of many different emotions and shock so it’s best not to force yourself to move or talk, but instead to relax and take your attention away from the panic attack itself. They make stress relieving and anxiety apps to help you calm down during these frantic times but always seek medical help if you feel too much on edge or that you can’t bare it. Your safety comes first and you wouldn’t want to wait too long in case it does start affecting your health negatively.

Yes that is totally normal. The need to be still can be calming for some. It is not something to be ashamed about. Everyone's anxiety manifests itself differently. It is all about finding what works for you. If sitting still works, sit still. If moving works, move around. Personally, sitting still helps me so I totally understand. In situations where you can;t exactly stay still, I say try to excuse yourself and go somewhere like the bathroom or just somewhere where you can collect yourself and your thoughts. It is all about what works for you. Hope I helped!

Yes, during a panic attack, your emotions and not you are in the drivers seat, your aim is then to regain control of yourself, this may not be the best time to engage in conversation so to feel comfortable to do other things, oh are going through a difficult moment, your aim is to feel better soon. It is important to understand that during this time you are allowed to think of how to get back in control. You need not worry about the external factors too much. Get yourself the help you need take as much time as you need to feel like yourself again
