Hey guys,
I'm having a very bad night with anxiety and thought I would come talk about it here, I'm usually pretty good and I get anxiety in phases. But tonight it's bad!
We had our company christmas party tonight. And I was fine all day, until in the afternoon I was watching TV, feeling very chill, and I got an anxiety attack out of nowhere! That kept my anxiety at a high for the rest of the night. I had to get ready, pick up my colleague, and then eat and talk all night to colleagues. And I didn't have a quiet moment where I could calm down.
My heart rate has been really high all night, and every time I even exert myself a little bit I get skipped beats. I also get this weird thing where every time I exhale, my wind pipe feels like it's being squeezed and I have the need to cough.
I got dizzy spells all through the night and I feel nauseous now and then. So I left the party around 10pm. I didn't eat any of the food and I just felt like I couldn't deal with it.
I give reassurance to other people here all the time that it won't harm you. And while I still believe that, I've never had so many things happen to me at the same time. I'm just freaking out a bit.
Especially the windpipe being squeezed thing, that's fairly new!
Rant over!
Thanks for reading and I hope some of you can reply and maybe offer me some reassurance in return.

Also, while I was sitting outside on a couch with one of my colleagues who tried to distract me, my voice started going. Like some words came out as a whisper.
What causes that? I've never had that before and I'm definitely not fighting a cold.
