What could this feeling mean?

Question

I haven't had a bad day. School is going pretty decent, it's actually not so bad. I've been a little stressed with school, work, and balancing a social life but I've handled it before and I know things will slow down. I was fine at school. It was actually a pretty good day until I was at work and all of a sudden I started to feel like something was wrong, or something bad was going to happen. It was so intense and I don't know why I was feeling that way. The people at work were all the cool people that I can joke around with and everything, but for some reason I felt like something was terribly wrong. It came to the point where I couldn't eat and tears were almost gonna start forming. I don't know why I felt like this. I kinda started freaking out about it until I accepted that I don''t know what happened and I just needed to wait and see. I still feel like something is up. Anyone ever had this happen to them?

Answer 1

what you're feeling is called a panic attack. it generally comes out of nowhere and can leave you feeling crippled like everything's going to explode or your world's come to pieces.

this is a normal reaction to stress, though if your school has a counscellor or psychologist, i recommend you make an appointment to see them. they will help you through whatever issues you may currently have and in the long term will be better for you. also they will have techniques you can use the next time you feel such panic. these tools will be extremely helpful.

although most of these feelings go away there is a chance that it may come back. so it's better to seek some help now as you recognise the problem.

good luck
