hey!! so i've been struggling with panic attacks a lot for about a month or so now, they just seem never ending and im getting new symptoms ive never really had before, ontop of being sick and stuff. i wanted to ask more people so i could calm down and not feel like somethings wrong with me. 

so last night, i felt like i couldnt breathe all of a sudden and it set off a panic attack. it was rough, hyperventilating, tingling, chest pain, all that stuff. i eventually calmed down after awhile, i took some medication and slept for a long while. 

however, as soon as i woke up and was more aware, i instantly thought about my breathing because it still felt like i was being suffocated before i went to bed. i'm just wondering, is it normal to still feel like my breathing is off even though its been a long while now? my mother said she has had that issue before and it was residual anxiety thats taking its course, but i've never dealt with it before. i just want to know if i'm crazy or it really is just anxiety making me feel that way. 

thank you in advance 💞
