Fairly recently I've been battling depression and have just felt down and hopeless. Today at work was my first episode of uncontrollable fear. My heart was beating crazy fast, I felt dizzy, my mouth was dry and I just felt this awful feeling of fear and dread. I've felt a bit like this before but I've always been able to keep in under control.

It's a horrible feeling that I really don't wish to experience again. It lasted about 10 minutes before I could return to normal and I felt sick. I almost felt like I was actually losing my mind! Is this a typical type of thing for a panic attack or is this nothing like?

Yep, sounds like classic Panic Attack symptoms to me, especially as you have felt the Anxiety under the surface prior to this.

My advice is to be aggressively pro-active in your dealing with this. Go to your GP, get referred to Counselling if you are not already there, and follow mind strengthening techniques like Mindfulness/Meditation.

Panic Attacks ruin lives, but learning control and overcoming them at an early stage is far easier than leaving it to become ingrained. I wish you nothing but the best in your endeavours to beat this.
