    I have experienced it! Can be scary, like it feels like you are dying. But really, I wasn’t. Was short of breathe. It was helpful to have someone with me. Can be scary to go through alone but it will pass.

    Hmm what triggered it? I was processing it with my friend and she had a hard time pinpointing as it was her first

  • someone who replied, again

    Yes. Could be a combination of a lot of things. It’s usually a sign of feeling like you are crushed or losing control. Panic attacks are signs that something is unevenly balances in our life. Like we are focusing on something too much and unable to let go or find a break so the attack shakes.
