Dear Sesha:

“When those suffocating feelings appear, I can feel how my head feels tense almost like a headache… I can’t think clearly. Everything and everyone don’t matter to me anymore…  In time of crisis everyone would let me down anyway. I am the only person who I can rely on no matter what… I can feel how scared and paralyzed I am while having those suffocating feelings. I feel like I don’t have any joy and energy to do anything” – reads like a combination of anxiety (ongoing fear), anger and depression.

“Thank you for your time to analyze my suffocating feeling. I heard about panic attacks, but I am not sure if that really is in my case” – you are welcome. You say that you are not sure that panic attacks are what you are suffering based on what you read in my yesterday’s post or elsewhere?

Did you read and consider what I wrote in my last post, about panic attacks (which are all about fear/ anxiety), and … what about what I wrote fails to fit with what you have been experiencing?
