Last night I think I had a panic attack, I was just thinking about whether I have anxiety or not (bc I know you shouldn't self-diagnose just bc you have some of the symptoms and I've never had to see a doctor about it). I researched anxiety before and a website said that people with anxiety have lifelong symptoms, like it's been part of their behavior. I started thinking about my childhood, and found a bunch of examples where I acted just weird and got mad at such a little thing. I finally started to think that maybe I actually had anxiety and I wasn’t normal, when all of the sudden my chest started to grace, sort of like when you’re hiccuping, and tears started to fall uncomfortably. This went on for a while before I got to my senses and calmed myself down. However, if I kept thinking about it it would happen again. I eventually got to sleep, but this is the first time it has happened to me. I’m thinking of going to get tested, but I don’t know how to approach my parents about it, and I’m worried that there isn’t anything wrong and it’ll be a bust, then my parents might think I’m actually weird. Thank you all for reading!
