I lost it and ended up sobbing. It felt awful (both feeling like that and losing it in front of my kids), but I ended up a little calmer after - whether as a result of that or not.

What happened? Can you have the panic/anxiety attack without thoughts, just the physical manifestation? How do you deal with that/make it stop? I've learned how to stop the cycle of anxious/panicked thoughts, more or less, but this is a new one for me...
I have had this kind of thing happen several times since I've been on meds. Like all the symptoms of a panic attack without the blinding panic. It has happened at work and at home. Most of the time I have to just lie down to get through them. I feel like I can't be upright. In my mind, it's my body's way of telling me I need to rest or take care of myself.
