Very anxious and scared right now. I’ve been nauseous for the last two days and keep
Feeling like my ears are popping and I can’t hear properly, I think I’ve just caught a virus. Anyway standing up today in the supermarket and I felt very sick my heart started racing and I felt
Like I was going to collapse it felt
Like the walls were closing in on me. My partner took me home but on the way home I had a massive panic attack, I’ve got anxiety disorder and while I know it was a panic attack my face went tingly and felt numb I also felt
Like I couldn’t get my breath and my chest was tight. I burst into tears and ever since have had a feeling of doom. I’ve noticed lately
My moods swing quite rapidly. One minute I feel
Like I’m going crazy ( very weird thoughts) and the next I’m ok and rationally thinking I know it’s just all in my head. I’ve tried to explain it to my partner but he doesn’t understand, he’s been so supportive. At one point I asked to be taken to hospital and was crying and scared no one can help me. I now feel ok but worrying about the next time I feel like this. Has anyone else had this? Is there any help for me? Will I be sent to a physiatrist ward?

Hey there it sounds like you've had a major anxiety attack. This can be completely normal with anxiety unfortunately as it triggers differently in everyone. What could help is talking to someone. Writing down things like that which are happen what is rational. What started this to get to the brubt of the start of it. You maybe referred to a counselling or cognitive behaviour therapy
