That's a good question AAAAA. Most of my anxiety is situational....rarely I will have an anxiety attack for no apparent reason.

I'm sure the kind of attack you tell of is most crippling and very scary. I've had times when I've been going to he store and as I drive into the parking lot I turn around and drive right back out again....but again...this seems to be situational. Even then, I sweat, I shake and my mind goes in a million different directions and my breathing is off....mostly I'm holding my breath which of course isn't good.

I do remember a couple of times a number of years ago that I did have attacks for no apparent reason....now that I think about it. I was in Romania with my husband....everything was great. We were having a wonderful time. All of a sudden it gripped me from out of nowhere. I thank God that Florin was there, he has a remarkable way about him and was able to calm me fairly quickly. I'm glad I wasn't driving at the time, don't think I would have been able to do so.
