I don't know if it was my very first anxiety attack, but it happened when I was eleven and it was right after my family moved from the east coast to the west coast.

It was the second week of going to a new school, first thing in the morning before heading off to school for the day. I remember lying on the couch feeling like I was going to be sick and I couldn't breathe. It felt like an enormous weight on my chest.

It's funny how resilient kids can be too. I remember not bothering to tell my mum because I knew she wouldn't do anything about it anyways, and I kept looking at the clock telling myself to just breathe following that second hand around.

Just wondering if anyone else remembers their first anxiety/panic attack..
