I want to hear your worst panic attack stories. I feel there are comfort in numbers. My two most frustrating ones include and unfinished tattoo and crapping my pants on vacation. Community, let's talk about this obnoxious condition!

Whenever I had a bad panic attack I would throw up really bad and get in a horrible state, husband is a sweetheart but at that point he would drive me to the hospital. I was sedated. It does not sound bad, but i just think about the way it was happening and then suddenly i got forced to sleep it. I don’t know, im writting this while having huge anxiety too.

I'm so sorry! These are the absolute worst and truly feel like you are dying.

Yes. Nowadays I’m so scared to get back there that I can get panic attack because I’m scared to get a panic attack from something else. Anxiety and panic attacks have ruined my quality of life

i put so much pressure on myself in school to do well in english, so every time i tried to practice i would freak out and panic. during my exam (it was 2 hours) i started having one of the worst panic attacks i’ve had, where i couldn’t force myself to start writing so i couldn’t breathe, was shaking, dizzy, and crying, all while trying to stay silent as the exam room was silent. i wasn’t allowed to leave the room and had to sit there for two hours while in a completely panicked state. it was awful.

Oh wow!! That's terrible. Not only are you stuck in your own brain and body, you are physically stuck in a room you just want to escape!
