Dear anita

I am not sure that panic attacks are what I am suffering based on some informations I heard from the internet and youtube videos.

When those suffocating feelings appear, they don’t really suddenly but gradually come up. My breathing doesn’t get short that bad and I don’t feel physical pain in my chest. In general I don’t feel physical pain or change of body temperature.

On the other hand the presentation of children to have panic attacks seem to fit me. The avoidance part is also true for me. I still have a tendency to avoid others or uncomfortable situations. But I try to face those uncomfortable situations and to endure also those uncomfortable feelings, because that is the only way to change those feelings.
