Is this a panic/anxiety attack?
I'm not exactly sure if I do have anxiety, but the symptoms I am having are ones that others seem to also experience (with anxiety). I was so scared today.I was in the toilet because I felt liable to break at any point and I didn't want anyone to see.
I was drowning in bad, repetitive thoughts. They wouldn't get out of my head. It was like a thousand eternal screams all at once, different, clashing tones, never ceasing. I found myself banging my head on the door trying to make it go away.
Then I had to sit down. I almost fell. Everything was spinning. I suddenly realised how quickly I was breathing. The walls of the toilet cubicle suddenly seemed like they were falling in on me. Everything kept swirling, I wasn't sure whether I was upside down or not, I could feel my chest rising and falling so fast.
Eventually it seemed to calm down. It stopped spinning. The walls went back to normal. I was still breathing fast. I'm scared. Is this what an anxiety attack feels like?
