Hey, my name is Danielle. I'm 23 years old. I've always been a anxious person, but the past few years it seems to be getting worse and stopping me doing things that I love. I had my first panic attack May last year and because it was my first panic attack, it was the scariest thing ever!!! I actually thought I was going crazy. I've not had once since...until last week. I was at work and it came out of nowhere...my chest started to tighten, I thought I couldn't breath and well a cloud of panic came over me...I actually ran out of the building in panic. 20 minutes of hell later, I felt better and I was able to continue working. I thought everything was okay...until the next day. I woke up feeling like I was in a bubble, like I was deattached from the world. I can't describe it. For about a week straight I was having heart palps, breathlessness and horrible thoughts of doom. Is it normal to feel like this after a panic attack?
Talking to my family and friends about my panic attacks/anxiety is difficult because they don't understand. I feel very alone and hoping I can find someone to talk about my experiences...new friends would be lovely! :)
