I was reading a blog online where someone described a panic attack as a "dramatic occurrence", meaning it would be easy to spot someone in the midst of an attack. I know everyone has a different experience when dealing with anxiety, but I don't think it's necessarily easy to tell a person is having an attack by just looking at them. When I'm trying to deal with all my anxiety, I'm often trying not to attract attention. I think having other people notice I'm sweating, dizzy, and having a hard time breathing wpuld make it worse. Does anyone else suffer in silence or is it just me?
