As for anxiety, I get cold hands, my "insides" feel uneasy, my lungs feel heavy (but I hardly ever hyperventilate). I cough a lot and my feel like throwing up. I may get a discomfort around my chest. I will feel awful, I won't want to talk to anyone, but as someone said I can work my way, even in order not to show other what's happening.
Hoooweeever, I do have depersonalizations when my anxietys hits its maximum level, if I get way too sad and, when I get bad news and so. Maybe that's how I panic or why I don't panic? I don't know. When I was at school there was a girl who had panic attacks and I remember seeing her being taken by the hand to the medical care, having trouble to even walk, while she couldn't stop crying and hyperventilating. That never happened to me.

That does sound like a panic attack to me. I did post the criteria of a panic attack in my first post.
I feel like that is the worst thing possible to happen. Like a more severe case. With the girl you saw. I can still walk when I have my panic attacks, but I feel like crying and I am trembling badly. Panic attacks are alarming, even what you said. I guess it is based on what each person considers alarming. Thanks for the response [emoji4] .
