I don’t think this breaks the diagnosis rule because I’m not asking for a panic disorder diagnosis and I am just asking if this was similar to a panic attack you may have experienced. I’m gonna start this off by saying; I’m really sorry if I’m overreacting and this wasn’t a panic attack. I have a tendency to be a hypochondriac. 

So it was five AM and I was doing laundry. There was five minutes left on the wash cycle and I just got really anxious suddenly. I couldn’t think straight, I was paseing back and forth really quickly, I was wringing my hands hand out and hitting my collarbone, I was struggling to breath(this could have been because I was trying to choke back my crying so I didn’t wake anyone up), my heart was racing and felt really heavy and weird, and my stomach felt weird. By the time this stopped the clothes were done washing so it was a bit longer than 5 minutes. I’ve had stuff like this happen a couple other times but there usually was a clear reason like i was opening my computer to start schoolwork. 

Thanks a lot. Im sorry if I’m just overreacting about this.
