I've been having something that seems kindof in between anxiety and panic attacks, but one feature I haven't seen anyone else post about is that I start feeling and speaking like a child or baby.

Sometimes I literally talk "baby talk" (like "goo goo gaga" type stuff), and once that was followed by screaming for "mama" but I didn't feel very scared... just thought it was interesting. Other times words like what a toddler would say spontaneously pop into my head and I say them out loud, usually along with hiding under a blankie and crying like a sad toddler. Another time, all within the same episode, I did the baby talk, toddler talk/crying, and then some 12-year-old stuff.

Has anyone heard of something like this that goes with anxiety or panic?

My best friend in middle/high school did that (I witnessed it a few times at slumber parties). We talked about it many years later. We all thought she was faking to try to freak us out or to be funny. No, it was real. She has dissociative disorder and PTSD. I really can’t say what happened to her because it is too triggering.

Of course, you should see a therapist and psychiatrist to diagnose your symptoms.

Yes I have heard of this. its normal for human beings to do this. its part of how the brain works under stress and problems...

example when I feel very happy my voice and behaviors show that I am happy, (high pitched voice and sometimes react like I did on my wedding day or like I did when I was 8 and got my favorite christmas present, or two when I got my first puppy...)

when i am angry sometimes my voice is rude and rough, sometimes my behaviors are raging like a 2 yr old throwing a temper tantrum, or the time when one of my ex bosses at a fast food joint said your fired.

you can learn more about how the brain functions and how its normal for human beings to react according to their life and feelings by visiting your local library's biology / medical books or science books. you can also do a google search on the topic of neuro psychology.
