First panic attack

by Crystal
(New York)

I am 32 and always suffered from mild anxiety. Last night my husband and I were arguing, I don't know if its what he said or the way he said it that triggered it for me but all of a sudden I couldn't catch my breath I felt like I was hyperventilating I ran out of the room dizzy and shaking and ran to the furthest part of my yard crouched down my whole body was shivering my hands starting tingaling and I started to curse my way out of it I kept swearing and reminding my self to breathe. When it started subsiding I tried to stand but my legs were shaking so bad I crouched back down and stayed there for a good 15 minutes. That was one of the scariest experiences of my life. I hope it was my first and last.
