I get the feeling of losing control. Suffering ptsd causes me to have anxiety attacks. These cause me to lose my breath, increase my heart rate, I sweat and feel dizzy. Is this what you feel? As if the event is happening again? Dont feel alone! Are you trying any techniques to calm down? I use a stress ball (which I squeesh into oblivion) or if I feel the stress ball isnt enough I take my pillow and beat it up...lol
