Maybe this is a stupid question. I have panic attacks when I am in a room with a lot of people I don't know. I usually leave the room and stay hidden until the people go away. I can't talk to people when I am like this. I just take a clonipin,
or take deeps breaths until I am ok. This is how I cope with anxiety now.

When I was young I had several experiences with bullies that wanted to beat me up. When I was confronted by bullies, I would just pound the crap out of them, then run like hell.I'm just wondering about my fear and adrenalin rush. Maybe
I was having some form of panic attack.

I suppose when we are adults, we don't cope with anxiety the same as when we are young.Has anyone else experienced something like this.
