hello everyone! I came to show some awareness to panic attacks since this scene has one from someone who's suffered from multiple panic attacks and this is my point of view of how mine work! and I'll share some stories. but my point is, everyone has trauma even when it's hidden but it's usually in secret. I say my own trauma out loud I dont usually hide it but the pain about it I usually hide. my panic attacks come slowly I know the signs and I know when it's happening sometimes they already happen before I can catch them. anxiety attacks and panic attacks are NOT the same and honestly? I feel like anxiety attacks are worse feels super super not fun here are a few symptoms to look out if your friend is having one after and before before: eye darting gripping pants or foot tapping mostly arm shaking heavy breathing after stumbling dizziness weakness hoarse responses heart beat out of sync these are my symptoms mostly I've had multiple and mostly some have been really loud or sometimes mine are very quiet but I've only had one really like episode 7 which is something called a PTSD attack and trust me those are VERY painful. poor Jax :<
here are some stories. once I was at a party with my friends my anxiety was slightly spiked up from all the loud noises so my comfort seeking behavior or coping skill is having physical contact with someone. my friend understood so I was clinged to her lol she's ok with it. but her best friend kept pushing my off from jealousy and then I started shaking cause the lack of my coping skill kinda left me with more anxiety then I went to a quiet room but some TEENS started being loud and me, who is autistic loud things make my anxiety spiral so I tired to get to the bathroom. locked then I noticed my hand shaking yep I knew my body was telling me to stop and find somewhere else so I decided to go back to the quiet room I immediately collapsed and hyperventilated WELL THAT WAS FUN I only got help around the end of it another one was more...neyayayay my best friend threatened to....k!! me at band cause I like TADC and anxiety strike happened I ran to the back room and had one...SO I tried to stand up after then realized im locked into place GREAT SO NOW IM HAVING AN ANXIETY ATTACK so when I was finally able to move I was shaking REALLY REALLY badly these stories show that most people are alone during panic attacks exactly like Jax...it makes it worse and makes them spiral more and I dont want that so please help others and spread the news! almost all of mine I was alone before and after mostly no one cared I dont want that for other people
