@Jojo Well I should mention also, although it sounds like a panic attack to me because it's what I am familiar with personally, there are many other types of mental conditions and episodes that can have similar symptoms to a panic attack, so only a professional would be qualified to diagnose whether it is one or something else. I just wanted to let you know I can relate and you're not alone.

Thank you for taking the time to reply; it means more than you think right now.
How is your breathing? I find that if I'm having a panic or anxiety attack, I literally forget to breath, which increases co2 in the body which is the brain's #1 fear, so things escalate exponentially and I just start spinning out. I've learned that I can shut it down by doing a quick set of 40 jumping jacks and 20 push ups. Deprive your mind of anxious energy by expending it throughout the body :thumbsup:
You're more than welcome to message me and talk through anything
My breathing is awful most of the time, so thank you for that info.

Sounds like a panic attack... I have them too and they're awful, I'm so sorry to hear that you have to deal with them too, if it is what they are. :(

It genuinely upsets me that the only reason I was thrown back into a mental hospital that one time was because of a panic attack. Thank you for letting me know.
