So I think I may have anxiety attacks? Or panic attacks or whatever they're called. Idk. And like for some reason it just really clicked today.

Ok, so quick spiel, I've known I've had a couple panic attacks before. Like once on a like 8 hour flight, ans another before a competition. Standard things, and those presented very much how I expect them to present. Struggle breathing, heart racing, even foggy vision and stuff. The first happened in grade 11, the second this year (I'm 21 now). So in my mind I'm like "that sucks, but you know it happens. Not a frequent thing."

Now here's the thing, I do have "moods" I'd call them, that happen fairly frequently. Like not weekly, but depending on somethings, they may happen close to everyday for a week, or like once every few months. Idk what decides them, it just happens.

So like today I kinda thought, after suffering from one of them, "hey, what if these are panic/anxiety attacks?" So I decided to ask here to see some opinions.

Here's what happens. Often I start feeling overwhelmed in my mind, and I try to shut it off, but instead of turning to something calming my mind starts racing much too fast for me and like making me feel out of control in a sense. It also builds up tension in my body, and I need to move. I'll jerk body parts like my arms or legs, or like crazily shake my head. I also end up muttering words like "no" "stop" and "what" without meaning too. Honestly it feels like I want to throw my whole body on the ground and throw a tantrum like a child with kicking and screaming. I don't, but I want to. I also sometimes feel hot, but that's mostly nights I'm dressed in all sweats and under covers (winter nights)

Here's where part of where I just sort of brushed it off as something weird to me and not like a panic/anxiety attack, I don't grow short of breath (I do feel like crying though) and my heart isn't racing, it just feels strangely heavy. I more have a headache.

When the moments mostly passed I tend to feel very tired.

Like when I write it out, I feel like it has to be, because idk what else it could be. But what do you guys think?
