glad you're okay anon, id fuck that shithead up if i were you. it takes a lot to make me that angry but that'd do it.

Every time I take a bus (which is almost everyday)
But most recent was 2 days ago at uni orientation. Uncontrollable shaking, and I couldn't even think of anything that would calm me down, couldn't even breathe. Worst part is, it was in our lecture hall. Thankully, I wsas close to the exit doors
It's not much, but it happens so often, and I despise it, and myself for feeling this way

whenever i get even a little bit lost on my local busses i started to completely freak out, i start fidgeting hyperventilating and looking for (non existant) escape routes.

Well by that time we'd already been broken up and I'd pretty much stopped caring about her entirely. We broke up because I thought she was cheating on me and if nothing else those messages confirmed my suspicions.

I hope she got AIDS though.

public transport sucks.
But can't even bring myself to drive a car because of how bad my 'episodes' get.
but, doesn't mean it should control us. I hope it works out for you, anons.
you hear this a lot, but you're not alone

Last time I was standing in line at the supermarket. `

>Line is not moving and people begin coming behind me
> start to feel uneasy, feel like I am going to faint, I stuggle to keep balance
> try to grab on anything I can, to change position casually but probably look like a psycho
> my eyes wonder everywhere, I am begginig to think about pretending I forgot something and just go back home

Its gonna happen next time I have to stand in line in the supermarket....

For a while I used to get panic attacks. I don't anymore, or at least not for very long.

The key part is to realise they're a nervous feedback loop. Your anxiety causes the symptoms, which causes more anxiety, which intensifies the symptoms etc.

Once you break the feedback loop, the attack dies away. This is as simple as diverting your attention. Just find something else to focus on, and you'll be fine.

Also, taking any sort of exercise will help - even just standing up and walking around. This will give you a little shot of adrenalin which will override the signals from your nervous system.

tl;dr - panic attacks are optional.
