I have experienced this before. Though they are not normal, having panic attacks does not mean you are crazy. It simply means your body is telling you something is stressing you out enough to panic. I thought that for a while as well, trust me, you're good :)

They are totally normal. It is just your body's way of saying "oh no, this is too much to handle". Learning how to manage the panic attacks can reduce the frequency and the severity.

Panic attacks are very worrying and overwhelming, but completely normal. Perhaps going to your doctor would make you feel more comfortable and you could receive some extra support.

Everyone perhaps experiences panic attacks once or attacks in their lives. When having panic attacks it is almost always accompanied by a foreboding fear and that feeling like you're going crazy. If it is recurring, then it becomes a panic disorder.

Panic attacks don't make you weird or crazy! In fact, a common feeling during them is that you're going crazy. It's important to remind yourself that those feelings are normal during a panic attack, and many people have anxiety disorders that lead to panic attacks.

It's normal to experience panic attacks when you are going through a stressful time. Feeling like you are "going crazy" is actually a sign of a panic attack.
