I just had my first panic attack ever, and i sincerely hope it's the last.
What the hell was that? All of a sudden i feel a bit strange, i can feel tingles running through my body my head becomes light headed and then this unbelievable fear of impending doom. Which was then exacerbated by a tightness in breath and feeling like i couldn't breathe. I felt like i came into contact with my own mortality, all of the uncertainty in my life suddenly compounded into a single moment of genuine fear. I'm not sure what brought it on.. i had just watched Monster's Ball (which admittedly has a scene where they prepare a prisoner for execution and the lead up towards it) and then after the movie i sat down at the computer and out of no where was struck out by this terror. I felt like i was breaking from reality..
A friend of mine died from a stabbing last month, so death has been on my mind.. maybe the movie just tipped my emotions overboard. I'm also going oversea's on my own in two weeks, so maybe the uncertainty of my life also contributed to it.
Is there a real danger from panic attacks? That scared the absolute shit out of me.. and i hope it never happens again.
