Hi,
Im new to the forum and was wondering if someone could help me??
I had a stressful life event about a year ago and during that time i had numerous panic attacks. I still get the occassional one now.
However after doing some research im not sure they are panic attacks.
I lose feeling and control of my legs usually and go dizzy and callapse, however i do not pass out but am very withdrawn, am unable to move or speak. Its like i am trapped in my body. I can hear and see things but i am detached from everything around me. Usually after a few minutes (sometimes longer) this passes and i start to hyperventilate and cry. I then calm down.
Its not a nice experience and i thought it was a panic attack but im really not sure.....
Has anyone else experienced this?? or could anyone give me their thoughts about what it is?
Thanks x
