I've only had 3 panic attacks in my life, but I can remember each one very vividly. I was reading up the signs and symptoms and they are dead on. On some of the sites, every single symptom they described I had experienced sometimes all at once too. My very first panic attack happened when I was smoking weed. It was not my first time either, it was probably about my 4th time smoking. For some reason I got really hot, it felt like I had needles poking me all over, my heartbeat started racing, I couldn't breathe, and I was convinced if I didn't paste myself around in circles I thought I was going to die. So that's what I did, I walked around in my friends backyard for like an hour. I felt as if I didn't stop moving I would die. So when my mom came to pick me up, and I had to stand still.. I was freaking out... amazingly I made it home without making a scene, and my mom never found out about me smoking.. or having my panic attack. The weed wore off in a few hours.. however, the panic attack felt to have lasted about 7... The second one was on my way of driving to phoenix. I was with 2 friends and in the backseat, and suddenly all the symptoms came back. It wasn't as serious as the other one... and went away in about two minutes... I just kept trying to breathe in calmly and kept reminding myself, it's just all mental and you need to calm down... The third one happened when I was in vegas.. we were walking the strip. I was with 4 other people and they were all high on triple C's. I was the only sober one (simply because I have not taken any other drugs sense my first panic attack because I used to think that is what triggered them).. so we're on the strip and we sit down on some grass... I'm laying down just looking at all the lights and suddenly it hits me again... i'm freaking out, cuz I'm far away from home. My phone is dead, I can't call anyone. We had already walked like 4 miles away from my bodys car... and they're all fucked up on pills... This one lasted like 5 minutes... I just got up and sat next to this girl that I had kinda fancy'd.. and I just layed on her and rested my hand in her lap... and it made me feel a little better... throughout the night I got a few more "mini" attacks until by the end of the night I was completely happy and the most outgoing out of everyone.. So ya... the first one scared the shit out of me. I have never really told anyone about this. My mom doesn't know. My friend is the only one. cause he was there for two of my attacks (the two most recent).. but idk. It really sucks and idk what to do about it. They keep coming more frequent now, and it's starting to scare me.

i remember the first time i had a panic attack...it was the scariest thing in my life. i was laying down watching t.v. and all of a sudden i start getting this headache and then i got really hot so i turned the fan on and tried to go to sleep. then i couldn't breathe and it got worse and i started crying because of the fact that i didn't know what was going on. i was really scared, i thought i was gonna die!

Panic is normal. You can diagnose yourself with anything off the internet, as I'm sure you're aware. Panic in situations where you have no real reason to enter that fight or flight state of alert is not so normal, but so many people suffer from it. If you think it's affecting your life or just want a valid opinion on it, you know what to do - speak to a doctor, ask what's what and explain all this to them. I don't have any sympathy for drug-induced attacks, but for the second, you really did have a good tactic for dealing with it. Honestly - that's basically all you can do to stop it, think your way through and realise that it will pass. The symptoms, which do sound panic-attack like, no matter how horrible are only temporary. The recurring mini-attacks also suggest that it may be a more difficult problem, but, even if you do have some sort of panic disorder, that doesn't mean anything - it doesn't change who you are or doesn't change your coping mechanisms or your life at all. I mean, you're still you, and these things affect you on an infrequent basis. Just remember that they won't do you any harm, they are completely understandable and you can over come them - you've done it before - and if you're very worried about them affecting your life, or they become more frequent (which they probably will if you dwell on them) then see a doctor. Otherwise... you might just be able to think your way through this. =)
