I should clarify what I meant -- by adding the word "imminently" or "immediately" - as in, when I have these anxiety attack moments, I know and need to keep in mind that in that moment, I'm "safe" in the sense that I face no physical danger in that place and time. But yes, long term, it can be completely devastating and destroy lives.

You didnt ruffle me, Johnny. Im not exactly sure what provoked my recitation of doomy predictions, but you said nothing to offend me. Also, my psychic forecasts have never won me the lottery, so dont die a voodoo death over anything I said. It was offered with the best supportive intentions.
PTSD isnt an anxiety disorder. Its not an anxiety attack when we flip into fight mode. We are traumatizing and we are also getting primed to freak out. Its best not to ignore it.
