The cycle begins

By seriously? - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States - Pickerington

Today, I was trying to explain to my mom that I've been having panic attacks. I ended up having a panic attack from talking about having a panic attack. FML

i fail to understand what a panic attack is like

Do you know what an asthma attack is like? That plus the knowledge that it's all in your head and you should be able to stop it why won't it stop this is my body it's supposed to listen to my orders and calm down nothin is wrong but if nothing is wrong why can't I breathe why isn't it stopping I told it to stop is that my heart it sounds like drums and should it be going that fast am I having a heart attack am I going to die why won't it stop if there's nothing wrong why am I dizzy there's nothing wrong breathe don't look at everyone staring at you just stop it and calm down nothing is wrong I told you I'm fine leave me alone see you should be able to control your own damn body breathe damnit you're going to pass out if you don't what the hell is wrong with you, can't you get your stupid body under control? You're not dying there's nothing wrong but if that's the case why won't it stop oh god am I dying why isn't it stopping nothing's working right I don't know I don't want to I can't I can't I no no no no no. More or less like that. Can't get any more accurate without risking setting off my own panic attacks, but I think that should cover the basics.

Did you have a panic attack while typing this?

I feel you. I've got combat PTSD, and explaining my panic attacks will often put me in one.

I completely understand. Just thinking about my panic attacks make me anxious!

Good thing you're not asthmatic, that would've been a breathtaking combination.

Story of my life! I am now having anxiety from thinking about when I get anxiety while trying to talk about it!
