panic

[mosesmam]

i hate when all of a sudden you cant breathe or you feel roller coaster feeling in your stomach. its like a little attack that never kick starts anything. anybody else get this?

mosesmam, I think most of us do or have in the past. It's a common symptom of anxiety. It's called "free floating anxiety". It never really leads to a big panic attack but just lets your body know that the anxiety bully is still in charge.

I know it doesn't help the feeling but at least gives it a name and lets us know what we are dealing with. I've learned that understanding my body's response to stress helps me not turn it into a catastrophic issue. I'm better able to put in "on the back burner" and go on with my day. I wish you well.
