I would imagine that panic attacks are different for everyone. I’ve only ever had three, full-on panic attacks in my life. They’ve all been pretty similar though. I’ve never been able to find out exactly what triggers it. Although each time, I had been under severe amounts of stress, depression, and anxiety. When it first started, I felt like all my senses were magnified by at least 50%. I felt like I completely lost control over my body. Nothing has ever been more terrifying to me in my entire life. My lungs starting doing their own thing, inflating and deflating way too fast, but I was powerless to do anything about it. It felt like I couldn’t get enough air. My skin became extremely hot, but I started shivering violently. My hands and feet went numb. Literally numb. I couldn’t feel them at all. I still have never heard of this happening to anyone before. Both my legs cramped up, like I was having charlie horses. And lastly, I started crying, uncontrollably. Sobbing, gasping breaths. I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t take a deep breath. I couldn’t calm down. These three times were the most terrifying times I have ever experienced in my life. Why? Because I had zero control over my own body. My mind wasn’t functioning.
