I've never much looked into anxiety on an extensive level as applying to my life but lately i've come to think differently. I have never had trouble with tests or other stressful situations in the past but recently they are driving me "crazy".
Today I had a tiny algebra quiz (a mere 40 pts) but blanked out completely on how to do everything. My face got really hot, dry throat, shaking hands, dizziness, sweating even though it was freezing, and i was almost crying (i NEVER cry..like..ever) and i just couldn't snap out of it but i everyone was talking to me so I had to try to force myself out of it. Eventually it worked, but this sort of thing seems to be recurring anymore.
kay so i'm the naive one to ask..is this a panic attack?
