Hi there, I come from an immigrant family that doesn't believe in mental health. I've had these episodes of crying and not being able to control my breathing in moments of stress and/or panic but I always believed that it was normal. One of the first times it happened, was in front of my own mother and she didn't help at all. She was asking me to translate government documents (because English is not my mom's first language) and I was on the phone with a government advisor and she yelled at me and told me that I was messing up and wasting the advisor's time because I was having trouble understanding a few terms on there. I started hyperventilating, crying, couldn't speak properly and my heart was racing. My mom yelled at me and scolded me for acting inappropriately. That memory would replay over and over again until I got so used to it, but what I would remember the most is what she said, about how I'm incompetent. Something similar happened not too long ago and I don't really know what to do or who to reach out to. 

Is there something wrong with me? I searched up the symptoms I had when those episodes happened and they're similar to anxiety but I've never been tested. Please help.
