I was on a course, in a place I had never been before and with people I had never met before. Not that that's a problem per se, I am fairly sociable, but maybe if someone familiar to me had been there, this would not have happened.
I suddenly got very very frightened. It started with me having thoughts about whether I really existed, or whether anyone else existed and it was all just a dream. It felt really really really claustrophobic, like being buried alive. I was terrified. After a while it went away. Is that a panic attack?
I've looked through panic attack threads but so far haven't seen anyone mentioning this symptom but perhaps I'm just not looking hard enough.
It would really help to hear if anyone else gets this TIA

Is this what a panic attack is?
