Today it hit me.
I was out with friends, grabbing some coffee, all of a sudden I go totally numb all over, breath was short, I started shaking uncontrollably, and I felt like someone was sitting on my chest.
I've been anxious about most situations throughout my life (23 btw) and this was the 5th time it occurred within one year. What do you know, it's a panic attack! First time it happened a year ago I thought it was a full on heart attack.
But I've decided I stalled enough, and in going to get some help from an expert but...I'm worried this will never go away, that I'll be bound to it for all my life, that my anxiety will get the better of me reducing my quality of life to a minimum. Does this thing ever go away?
