Hello. In the past 2-3 months, I have been having unexpected panic attacks. I know they are unexpected because they aren't part of the panic attacks that I experience from my social anxiety and GAD. I consider myself to have three different types of panic attacks with one of the types being unexpected.

Anyways, I am used to having panic attacks often (one every 1 to 2 weeks), but I know that some of them are different than normal. A few days ago, I posted about my panic attack that lasted 3 hours and was really terrible. This was an unexpected panic attack because I wasn't in a social situation that I felt anxious in along with me not worrying about something at that time, which is something I normally do.

I know it has to last 6 months, and I don't like the feeling of panic attacks, but I don't really fear having another one. The only time I fear panic attacks is when I am doing a performance and I am afraid of getting a panic attack.

Something just triggered in my mind that my unexpected panic attacks have been in the past 4-5 months, with one month of me having an unexpected panic attack once to twice a week. It sucked.

Anyways, sorry I go off-topic like this, but can someone have panic disorder without really fearing another panic attack? I kinda to wonder when will I have another unexpected panic attack, because I couldn't function like I normally would when I had this panic attack. But I don't think of this constantly.

Your thoughts? I think I will bring this up with my pdoc next month, but I do hope I don't get another unexpected panic attack next month. Thanks.

I have ASD so please be kind if I say something socially unacceptable. Thank you.
