What is this?

[AlwaysSweet]

Does anyone gets a panic attack, thinking about getting an anxiety attack?

[Agora1]

AlwaysSweet, it is very possible as well as probable that you will go into a

panic/anxiety attack through your thoughts. The mind is a powerful tool,

what we think is what we get.

Finding ways to downplay our thoughts to a more positive approach is

very helpful. You're not alone in this. xx

In answer to your question; YUP.Not fun.

It's been a while for me. Trying to meditate everyday, or at least trying to sit in quiet, helped me. I can think of nothing more frustrating than trying to talk yourself down logically & with patience while you're also tensed so badly that it physically hurts & your mind is literally telling you to immediately run or hide ANYWHERE... and it's over panic that's not even happened yet.

not fun :/

Yes I do.

Yes. So much yes. I used to be an avid kayaker. Now I think about having a panic attack out on the water and it's terrifying enough to make my heart race and palms sweat. I'm trying to overcome this in therapy, but I'm still a work in progress...

[CL3V3R-G1RL]

Yes, ruminating over thoughts of getting a panic attack, the what ifs etc can kick start a panic attack.

I've also noticed at least for me that if I say to myself "Cmon bring it! Gimme a panic attack right now! I dare you, do it!" Nothing happens. So my brain is being funny with me. That's why anxiety is a lying butthole

My world has shrunk given my "adrenaline rushes." I don't like to call them attacks. I can feel the "Oh boy, here it comes" going into a triggering event. And the dump happens.
