-- Posted by AthenaRuth at 2:12 pm on April 23, 2008 I have panic attacks every single time I talk to this one person and act weird around him so you think maybe I should just stop talking to him? Because I feel really depressed and awful after I talk to him, like I've been sucked into a black hole of depression. He scares me. -- Posted by Majo at 2:13 pm on April 23, 2008 Are you sure they're actual panic attacks? -- Posted by AthenaRuth at 2:13 pm on April 23, 2008 Quote: from Majo at 2:13 pm on April 23, 2008 Are you sure they're actual panic attacks? Why would you doubt that? I can't breathe and feel so nervous I shake. -- Posted by UnwrittenProphecy at 2:14 pm on April 23, 2008 wow... that's probably not a good person to hang around with then... generally you hang out with people that make you happy -- Posted by Majo at 2:14 pm on April 23, 2008 It's a logical question to ask, everyone says they have panic attacks anymore and yet few of them have been diagnosed. How am I to know you're not confusing nervousness with having a panic attack? -- Posted by peekabeekaboo at 2:14 pm on April 23, 2008 one = stop re-posting its annoying two = just fucking takl to him! he is only another human being. -- Posted by AthenaRuth at 2:15 pm on April 23, 2008 Well he scares me because he's popular and I am the flowers on the wallpaper. I'm afraid he'll make me talk to someone I don't want to or talk to everyone in school that he knows about what a creep I am. -- Posted by child of rock n roll at 2:15 pm on April 23, 2008 Umm I get that around someone too...but I think it may be for a different reason than you...:( -- Posted by Majo at 2:18 pm on April 23, 2008 I can't breathe and feel so nervous I shake. Anyways, those symptoms are no different from the ones people have when they're nervous. Just watch someone when they get up to speak in front of a crowd, watch their hands - they're shaking. Their heart is also beating faster than normal which makes it hard to breathe. It sounds to me like you're just nervous, I've never heard of someone having a panic attack when around one particular person for no reason/just because they're popular. I have, however, seen people get nervous. But maybe I'm wrong.
