Panic attacks
Has anyone ever had panic attacks out of no where that then brought on the intrusive thoughts?

Yes. Unfortunately it’s not easy for the people around me. I just let them experience things even if the panic attack comes out of nowhere. I’m currently rethinking that I need to talk to others and that I might have to explain things
YES! 100% you’re not alone in that. It’s like if I feel my heart beat even a small amount to fast or breathe hard I can’t stop thinking “I’m having a panic attack what if I die? What if it’s a heart attack? What if it’s signs of seizure ?” And it draws it on 10x worse.
I’m so glad I’m not alone!!
Anyone else develop it in their 30s? I’m 33 and just started showing symptoms in October 2024. So far have only been diagnosed with GAD , PD and depression.I started having intrusive thoughts after a series of panic attacks . My compulsions would be googling. I have made an effort to stop though because it only makes me feel worse. My intrusive thoughts have been around fear of going crazy
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
Anyone ever have a conversation and think you said a intrusive thoughts out loud. Then you panic and go over and over the convo , reviewing it and remembering people's reactions,to see if they noticed your thoughts or read your lips? Sometimes it feels like I have to look away when talking as the thoughts could be shouted out if we make eye contact .such a powerful erge to say thoughts out load . . It's like the more you fight off the thoughts the louder they want to be . You can feel your self bubbling up inside . Then you get one and boom ,you think you've said it out load.
