I started driving and at some point as i was crossing a bridge, i could not understand how 2 cars could cross it at the same time. I panicked, left the car on a bridge ran for about 10 minutes and called my brother. Family was not impressed. |

They use to appear seemingly out of nowhere. A real panic attack is experienced as a life-threatening event which maintains itself through a positive feedback loop and can last for serveral hours (imagine a pulse of 180 bpm for just an hour :eek: ). Feeling the panic-induced high blood pressure, people are afraid of possible aneurysms bursting or loss of control over their body as well as dozens of other life-threatening events thus enhancing the panic attack.
Quite "harmless" for most people, panic attacks pose a serious thread for those with servere cardiovascular diseases or large aneurysms. |

| Oh, yeah, all the time. Thankfully never while flying, though. |

I guess i never had any loser drug friends to warn me about the effects. Don't think that would be a good indicator of intelligence. But given the parameters within which i was working with, getting out of the car was the smart thing. Perhaps you don't relate because you probably had your mom show you how to bang meth the right away. I would contend that a good knowledge of dosing at a young age is usually an indication that you will end up in prison. |

*takes a bunch of mushrooms for the first time*
*drives car*
Too bad you didn't have any "loser drug friends" to alert you to the incredibly obvious fact that that might not have been a good idea. |

Twice, sucks ass.
I knew what they were though pretty much straight on, so they didn't last long, but that irrational like freaking out is pretty intense. |

This is actually how it usually goes down for me. The feeling of needing to get out of the car and walk is overwhelming. |
ya i know exactly how you feel. I had it for years in my early to mid twenties. it totally went away now, however at the time it was terrifying. I really thought I was about to die a lot of the times.
it was exactly like the original post. Usually a realization of something that almost made me feel like i was leaving my body (for lack of a better way to explain it) almost like i was an epiphany that was so mind blowing and so aware of what was actually happening that I would go into a sudden almost shock. I would feel small and helpless.
I have got it over airplanes just realizing i was millions of feet above ground flying in the air. or have a sudden feeling (when i was on the ground) that myself, everything around me and the world was actually free falling together, I would think about the distance of here to the sun or how small I was compared to it and get it. t was very weird feeling of being very aware and freaking the out over it almost to the point where you felt like if you overthought it for 1 more second you were going to lose your mind and it always ended with short of breath and me needing to stand up and walk. I would feel faint.
so weird. I honestly thought for a while I was sick and this is why I was having them. I never went to the doctor about it and the only person who knew about it was my gf at the time because she was in the car once when i had to pull over on the highway and get out of my car. I never got checked for it or even knew how to explain it to someone. I thought it was due to the drugs i had done in the past. I let it be and eventually it went away.
its nice to know it was anxiety attacks. |

Yup, always feels like I'm headrushing and then my pulse is through the roof and I'm just sweating like crazy. A few of my worst ones involved both of my arms going completely tingly like when they're asleep.
The one on the plane was particularly bad as we were basically in heavy turbulance for like, 80% of the 2 1/2 hour flight. I had gone straight from some Hot Natured party in Miami for WMC to the plane, and I was just a ing wreck. It was really the first time I experienced turbulance on a plane, I was two seats away from the aisle, and the seatbelt light was on the whole flight. blegh |

| Yeah a few times... I'm pretty sure in my case anyway they were triggered by way too much caffeine. The first time was sitting in traffic after downing like 3 cups on my lunch break. Nothing like having insane energy just to sit there like a sardine in a tin can |
