Sadness attacks?

Does anyone get "sadness attacks"? Like an anxiety attack but just an intense burst of despair and hopelessness. I get these every once and a while and my whole body will start to feel weak and hurt so I'll start to panic. When it happens I can't even watch tv. Anyone else?

I get these about my anxiety... When it hits me that what if I never feel "normal" again, I get so upset that I have to fight back the tears!

I get like this. I overthink and get catastrophic thoughts. And then I get these overwhelming feelings of sadness that I can't seem to shake. It's like I know I'm doing it to myself then my mi d tries to trick me into believing my thoughts are real. Then Im reminded of my stupid Derealization, Then I get sad all over again. Smh... It's so annoying. I was never even like this before November of last year. I just want my regular life back. Truth is, I can actually feel my normal self at times, then I get afraid of feeling normal and think something will happen to me if anxiety isn't there to protect me. Smh it's nonsense

I, too, get those periods of intense despair although I wouldn't label them as being 'attackas'. That type of thinking goes down a different route as I know from experience. I sometims feel that my erxistence is detached from everyone elses, that I am not there. Frightening really.
