Sometimes if I'm on a crowded train I'll have to hop off and catch a much later one to avoid the crowd....I can't explain what it feels like, apart from feeling utterly unprotected and frightened. It's embarrassing sometimes, because it isn't always apparent, until ofcourse you have another attack.
It's the fight or flight response. You feel enclosed and vulnerable, which causes a part of your brain to react, releasing adrennilin into your system. You are then on high alert, you feel sick in the stomach and scared out of your brain. It was a very useful response to have when we were in the wild dodging sabre toothed tigers but is not very useful in todays society. With treatment you can learn to control those feelings to a large degree. Medication can also help a great deal. I'm interested in 'Cipramil'... | |

I had those once. It would suddenly come over me. My heart would be racing, I would be scared as hell and I had a hard time swallowing. I got so freaked out that I went to a hospital emergency. It was scary - fight or flight in a church and a public mall. I don't have them anymore.
