I have recently experienced having panic attacks. I can't breath, my heart beat quickens, I sweat, I am confused and scared for no good reason. I'm not sure I understand it. I have a doctors appointment on this next week. This is the first time I made an appointment for psychological reasons.

Generally, I am not big on emotions. I have worked through some rather severe issues on my own in the past. I have managed it all on my own, but now I am not sure how to get through this.
I used to be interested in things (not people, much). I used to get interested in a subject and than learn everything I could about it. Now, I feel I have nothing to occupy me, nothing that is facinating. I don't see many people, I can't go to the gym due to the lockdown... you know, Corona.
I get how this is a problem, but I am generally a very unemotional person. I worked on this and considering the panic attacks, I wonder if I might have overdone it. I actually woke up crying today. That's so not me.

Basically, I don't understand how I can have panic attacks. What am I missing? Is this just Corona or are there underlying issues that are surfacing now? I worry that if I go into therapy (as my best friend suggests), I will be in it for the next 50 years.

Maybe you guys have some stories or tipps to share, I'd love to hear them
