I've not been feeling so great over the last week. My panic attacks seem to have been getting the better of me and taken on a more terrifying symptom. I'm worried I might be starting to totally lose it.
I only tend to go out of the house when I'm forced to, buying food in the supermarket, going to the doctor, etc. Recently I'm worried that I'm starting to have hallucinations when I'm in the grips of a serious attack. When I went out to the supermarket yesterday, I started to panic as soon as I left the house. I managed to rush round the store feeling absolutely terrible. The whole time I was convinced that everyone was staring at me is if they knew I was panicking. It all just felt totally unreal as if I was dreaming it. I felt that I couldn't look at anyone cause when I did I found that people's faces looked terrifying. I also found that the sounds around me became so loud, I kept thinking I could hear someone calling my name from behind me, when I looked round there was no one there. I've not been out since then, but spent the whole night and today worrying about what had happened.
Does this sound like some sort of hallucination or psychosis? I'm totally freaking that it might be the start of something worse.
