Are You Having A Panic Attack?
Have you ever had a panic attack? Have you ever felt so scared and panicky but had no idea why?Panic or anxiety attacks are suffered by a large number of the population and they are very, very scary. Especially the first one, when you have no idea it is coming and no idea what is happening to you.
What are the symptoms of panic attack?
Symptoms include:
A racing heart accompanied with an anxious feeling
General anxiety about every day life
Scary thoughts and feeling like you’re losing control
Dizziness and light headed
Sweating, shaky and even weak
Feelings of unreality and perhaps even disorientated
Feeling like you just want to run away
Can’t relax, feel like you’re ‘on the edge’
Sometimes you feel depressed and anxious for a couple of days leading up to a full blown panic attack and then after the attack you can feel very tired and have a general ‘feeling down’ feeling for a few days following.
When you have a panic attack your body thinks something is happening that it needs to fight against, so you have an adrenalin rush as your body prepares itself for battle. Then however, there is no battle and all that adrenalin is left in your body making you tense. Your body can also feel very tired and run down after the adrenalin rush.
Your mind can’t relax because you are constantly thinking about the attack and absolutely terrified of it happening again.
If you experience panic attacks like these quite often it can really effect your life. You can spend your life scared and depressed.
Try to remain positive and try to distract your mind by keeping busy. Seek treatment for your panic attacks.
Take Care

Hi Shezz,
I had panic attacks as a teenager, and I had pretty much all the symptoms you describe. They would break out when I had to read out loud in class. To this day I get very uncomfortable if asked to read to other people, even friends and relatives.
I don't think that keeping busy is the answer though. I believe we need to find the source of these panic attacks in order to get rid of them.
Nice blog by the way. If you have time visit mine. I just started a few days ago. The address is http://depressionfree.blogspot.com/
Take care!
Dysthymic Disorder is characterized by chronic depression, but with less severity than a major depression. The essential symptom for dysthymic disorder is an almost daily depressed mood for at least two years, but without the necessary criteria for a major depression. Low energy, sleep or appetite disturbances and low self-esteem are usually part of the clinical picture as well. http://www.besthealthmed.com/depression.html
