Feel like i'm about to a fit when i panic

[lorra]

Hi everyone, just wondered if it's just me or does anyone else feel like they are about to have a fit when they get panicky? I've never actually had a fit, but for 7 years since my panic/anxiety started, I have this feeling when i get really anxious. I also feel unbalanced on my feet and find it hard to stand still at traffic lights/ waiting for a lift etc. Please tell me i'm not going mad!
