I had panick attacks and they used 2 wake up in the middle of the night, it felt like climbing the walls, very fast heart beat, sweeting, adrenaline rush, shaking, the feeling that you have to run away as fast as u can from something as you were face 2 face with a hungry grizzly bear, but physical simptoms were nothing compared 2 what u experience inside your mind, that feeling.
I don't exactly know the difference between high anxiety and a panick attack, I think they are somehow related, anxiety leads 2 panick attack, but they are 2 separrate things.
ShadowCat, can u explain 2 me what u feel inside your mind when u experience derealization ? If i get extremly anxious and scared, i feel like i'm going blind and deaf, and can't tell what's going on around me, it is like an underwater sensation for me, or dreaming, i dunno how to explain, besides the well known physical sensations. Is this derealization ? :roll:
