I can attest that anxiety & panic are real. I experienced a panic attack a while back & its pretty nerve wracking & scary because I didnt know what was happening. Last night laying bed I started having that feeling come over me. I can only describe it as suffocating in your thoughts. Its like someone is pouring something heavy all over me & if I dont move I wont be able to breathe. I guess the point of an anxiety attack is when it overtakes me or that pouring feeling in my imagination covers up my face so to speak. I have an irrational fear of a suffocating so that is how it feels to me of that makes sense, or another picture/animation I had in my heard was that of being in an hourglass and the and was getting closer to to the top & I was stuck in it. I guess you could say a buried alive feeling. I think it may be different for everyone. Last night I kept it in check but it was hard. I finally went to sleep about 1:30 but 2 1/2 hours of feeling like you trying to fall asleep in water without drowning is awful. Anyway, I just wanted to share this experience with you guys so that if any of you have felt similar, it is real, it is scary & you are strong enough to overcome it. It took a lot of calming myself down & breathing. I would get up walk it out & lay back down until the overwhelming feeling subsided. I had to stay grounded in reality & not let my thoughts overcome me. #staystrong #youcanwillhealing #youarenotalone #getmorerest
