View Full Version : What starts your panic attacks?
I go through the same motion every night, it gets to about 8.30pm and I start feeling jittery. No one thing sets it off, I could be watching an exciting tv show, or something as simple as a knock at the door will set me off once im jittery. Im not worried about anything and don't feel anxious during the day.
Body clock, used to feeling it every night at that time..

I used to be terrible with knocks on the door. The minute I'd hear one and the dogs barked, I'd be shaking like a leaf and short of breath. I used to end up in a terrible state even when the postman put a letter through the door. I'm still a little afraid of the knocks, but these days I have a little hold on it. Another thing that used to send shocks through me was when my partner would put a cup down on the table. I'd shake and feel really panicky.
Feeling like I can't breathe properly... but it passes.
I don't like feeling dizzy or light-headed. That usually makes me feel quite panicky.
Being in a strange place, out of my comfort zone, will do it too.
Any twitch or ache and pain in my body - always think the worse = panic.
During the panic normally i will some liquid items.. Like coffee, or water lemon juice.

It's strange but I am finding the sun and heat making me anxious! I also can trigger a panic attack by looking at the sky. The enormity of its all sets me off!
...my thoughts....which I catastrophise :doh:
Noises and smells when I am really in panic mode.

I get bad in the evenings and at night because my first attack I had, happened in the evening..like you I feel okay in the day. Maybe it happens also because I'm generally trying to relax more indoors later in the day. I spend as much time as I can outside.
