Panic Attack?
I have pretty bad social anxiety and moderate general anxiety along with a bit of depression. While it's not under control, it's pretty manageable. I was at a friend's house the other night, and I was just sitting on her floor waiting for her to get out of the shower. While doing that, my mind was wondering, but I wasn't thinking about anything upsetting. Suddenly I couldn't breathe and my heart started racing and my palms got really sweating. It felt like I was going to die, I couldn't even move or yell out for help. Scared me half to death. But after 5 minutes it went away and nothing happened the rest of the night. What was that? Was it a panic attack? i've never had one, I've had anxiety attacks where I can't breathe, but that's because something is giving me anxiety, whereas this time I was just hanging out.

It was a panic attack. You do not have to be thinking about anything in particular to have one. Panic attacks can be very scary (I would know, I have probably had a hundred of them.) Don't worry!! Just remember to breathe. Also, to try and make them less scary, continue to tell yourself that it is anxiety, because that really should help. When you have anxiety, you have to accept it. That is literally one of the best things (at least for me it is.) Good luck!!! :)
