Help please !! I think I had my first panic attack
Hey everyone,
I think I had a panic attack today for the first time. It was due to an overwhelming event and my mom shouting on me (which btw did not help). I just felt like I couldn’t breath anymore, my head was spinning, I had an urge to puke and I thought I was about to pass out. Also once I was sitting on the floor I couldn’t stand up or I would feel nauseous and very hot. I couldn’t stop crying and shouting.
I don’t know if it was a panic attack or something else. But I know for sure it wasn’t a pleasant feeling. It happened this afternoon but I couldn’t stop overanalysing the problem and every time I think about it my breath shortens and I feel dizzy.
I can’t really talk about it to my mom. I tried to explain to her but her only response was: “Grow up”.
If someone here could help me to understand and if you have any tricks to prevent this. PLEASE HELP !!!
