Your welcome whywhy,I think these little surveys help us to understand that anxiety and panic attacks come in many guises and different situations xxxx
Hi why why.
Voted when I feel ill xx
Hi Cloggs

I voted 'all of the above' as each one has the potential to lead to panic,though none is necessarily more panic-inducing than another when viewed individually. It is an accumulation of events coming together at any one time that does it for me.
Hi robbie
Nice to see your reply
I think a lot with anxiety feel that all will be relevant
I know certain things trigger me more than others yet sometimes when one comes out of the blue I realize like you it has been a bit of everything building up
Thank you for you comment & vote

Hi there just feeling really crap to day it seems no matter how much sleep i get i still feel as if i need more ! I take quitiapine to help with my anxiety which also helps me sleep ! Wish i could wake up feeling better and refreshed ! Any ideas anyone ! David
Hi David
Sorry you are not feeling to good , maybe if you did a post if you felt you could more members will see it & be able to offer some support ( no pressure though )
I am just thinking if the meds you are taking could be making you feel this way when you wake up , it could be an idea to have a word with your doctor about them ?

When I am physically/mentally exhausted. Also when attempting to Multi-task (trying to do 10+ things all @ same time!). OCD also attributes to Panic Attacks! Worrying about loved ones health too.
Hi betty
You seem to be like a few of us , to much happening all at once triggers us of as well as the ocd I can relate to as well
Thank you for your comment & vote

Thanks for reply. I found it very interesting that most of us react to the same things that trigger Panic Attacks, very interesting. I hope you are doing as well as can be expected. I do feel little more positive this week. Especially after I did Post had tremendous support, thank you for yours & everyone else's.
Sending, positive, healing, calming vibes to you.

I feel like I'm getting a panic attack when everything around me "stops being real." Especially when I feel this way while struggling to fall asleep even if I'm exhausted
I know that feeling fire candy. It's awful. Nice to meet you by the way.
Thanks for the reply, nice to meet you too!
Hi firecandy
Thank you for your comment & vote , it is good to get different feedback & that is something I am sure a lot of members will relate to so I am pleased you have added in the comments

Yup,all of the above have led to panic. Though if I've slept well the panic seems to lesson. Sam xx

I agree that lack of sleep leads to panic , I think I need to get better sleeping habits because mine are not very good

When I go somewhere new and that's when I feel out of my comfort zone. Especially with people I don't know.
Hi Cheryl2 & Welcome
I do agree with been taken out of your comfort zone that is something that I do not cope with very well & brings on panic
I hope we get to know you more on the site

Normally when I feel unwell or have a weird feeling. But most times it is random. Why have a panic attack when washing the pots. Crazy isn't it!
Hope all have a great night. Xfactor on tonight. Yipee

Hi mewmew
Why have a panic attack when washing the pots made me think & all I could come up with is maybe as some have said it could have been a build up of things & you just happen to be washing the pots when it finally all gets to you , but a very good question why then
Thank you for your comment & vote

HI why x O I think there are a few with me, but mainly going out with my agoraphobia, mixing with people in general and top of all, stress, confrontation, any type of pressure really x Donver x
Hi Donver
Is that most of the above then 
Yes the going out I relate to & to many things happening all at once , I think these can be the main ones even though the others depending can bring them on to

Always at night time x
Hi Terrib55 & Welcome
I feel you also maybe new to Living with Anxiety & wanted to say hello
I do think for most anxiety sufferers there can be always one part of the day where they feel more anxious & as if panic attacks could occur
I hope when you feel ready you might like to post & members will make you most welcomed as well as offering support

Hi mimi
Seems a few of us struggle dealing with to much pressure & makes us feel more likely to have a panic attack when we do
Thank you for your comment & vote

when I feel alone (like, genuinely alone in the world), like everyone's walked out, or unloved
Hi & Welcome millmill

I understand that feeling of been the only one in the world & maybe know one understands how anxiety affects us which can create panic attacks when you do feel this way

Possibly at night
Hi Marcus
I think a lot of us have more difficult parts of the day when we feel anxious & more prone to have a panic attack , night time been one of them as there maybe more time to think & less distraction
Thank you for your comment & vote

Dear Whywhy,
Thank you for your feedback with regards to possible reasons why some of us have panic attacks at night. The word distraction is interesting.
hugs,

Being ill, especially with a temperature triggers mine.
I get my worse ones at night when I'm just dozing off and my heart decides to leap out of my body to wake me up!!!
Travelling can cause them.
Feeling overwhelmed by too many demands on my time and resources.
Anything, place, etc I'm unfamiliar with causes me to over think which causes panic.
Oh dear reading this list I'm starting to see why it's called Generalised Anxiety Disorder!!!
I use to have then at night now I have them in day time too it get on my nerves
