I was laying in bed with my husband and our six year old son reading our son a book before he went to sleep and then all of a sudden I got this feeling of being unable to get a good breath and then I just felt all out of it and had to go to the bathroom and then I got this overwhelming feeling that I was going to die or something terrible was going to happen to me. I ended up calling my mom and she and my dad came over and sat with my husband and me until 2 a.m. Thankfully my son fell asleep before all this happened so he didn't see me acting like a twit. Now today I'm exhausted and still feel pretty out of it and like I can't always get a good breath. I've had a ton of tests within the past year and all have come back normal, but I'm just never convinced that I'm ok. I'm 26 years old and not even living my life like I should because of constant fear and worry that somethings going to happen to me or I'm going to die or lose my mind. One weird thing that happened before my attack last night was that I almost got so extremely calm that it freaked me out and I think that is what triggered it. Do any of you ever experience an extreme calm right before you have a panic/anxiety attack? I'm at my wits end with this!!
 
From what I read, anxiety will come out of the blue and just all of sudden hit you. My anxiety hits me in the morning and then I will be perfectly fine throughout the day but it will hit me when I feel all relaxed. I hate that because you having a good time with frienRAB or your child and it hits. I worry about my kiRAB growing up and leaving me and then I worry about death or my parents dying. I will cry about it. I just work at it everyday. I meditate, use a anxiety workbook, I do acupuncture, exercise, eat right and I use positive affirmations. I know what your going through and your not alone.
 
Thanks for your reply. It's just so scary to feel like something is going to happen to you. I've had anxiety for years, but it's never a feeling I get used to.
 
He seems like it comes in different waves. Like I will have it one year and I get certain symptoms and then I recognize what it is just anxiety and it goes away. Another year I might have different symptoms and I have to figure out if it is real pain or anxiety.
