Hi,
I guess i kind of just need some reassurance about my panic attacks. They are typically on public transport but occasionally other places. What normally happens is my senses become overwhelmed so noises are louder and colours brighter. And my body normally jolts to attention a bit like when you're just falling asleep and you have those falling type dreams and wake up with a start. Other than that i have dizziness and sickness and feel like I'm going to faint. But the thing that gets me the most is this jolting feeling. I understand its to do with flight or fight response so I'm preparing to run but it scares me and doesn't seem to be something i can stop if i do things like deep breathing. Anyone else have this?
TIA!
