have just had a funny episode where hearing went, went all hot and cold, heart racing/fluttery, felt like I was going to die .

I’ve had a few times before and told they think it’s panic attacks but not sure .

am alone and scared I’m going to die alone

Have had a better day today, made it to the uni classes I needed to go to. Didn't concentrate during them really but physically I was there which is a start. Got some good news re money at last. And spoke to family a bit, on phone and on FaceTime. My mum is doing a bit better too. I've managed to eat a proper meal today. My flatmate wants me to go through and see her but I'm shattered and just need my own company for a bit. Not due back into uni now until next Monday which is a bit of a scary thought (trying to fill all that time up and not getting too lonely).

Hey OP, glad to hear your mum is better.

You're saying I'm shattered and just need my own company for a bit. and Not due back into uni now until next Monday which is a bit of a scary thought (trying to fill all that time up and not getting too lonely).

What do you think is best for your current state of mind?
Having time alone
or having a bit of company?

Had another attack today. Exact same time of day almost. Crisis team said they’re convinced it is just panic and very high anxiety but I think I’m going to die.

I don’t know. I feel safer with other people but the overwhelmed when they want to talk to me .

I haven’t called an ambulance today. Managed to have the sense of mind to ring crisis team insteadZ

Knowing this is a great starting point! Have you got people who will just hang out quietly with you?

Also, what is particular about this day and time that the episode recurred at exact same time/day (almost)?

What you describe is characteristic of panic attacks particularly the feeling you’re going to die.
