I believe I had my first anxiety attack at about 15 or 16 years old. My mother had just been taken to the hospital by ambulance. I was left at home to care for my three younger siblings. I was so freaked out by how I was feeling, I ran to my best friend's house for help. She and a male friend came back to my house with me. The anxiety attack lasted about 10-15 minutes - maybe less but it felt like it was forever.
