I didn't think I did, but it literally just popped into my head. I remember it vividly now. I was in pre-school, it was nap time I believe, and I remember being overcome with fear of the purest form.
I thought that I was suffocating. I felt as though each breath was one step closer to, in the eyes of a little boy, something very bad. It would be coined death now as I am obviously older and more informed.
But I remember being confused and terrified. I didn't know what was happening to me, I couldn't breathe, and I could barely get the attention of my teacher. Even though I was a child, I remember trying to fight it off in a sense, keep it inside.
Of course, I was picked up by my mom and was sobbing in the car. It's weird how certain memories pop up and are so vivid. I now know it was just a panic attack, plain and simple.
This is the furthest back I can remember.
