having a sense of dread, or fearing the worst
feeling like the world is speeding up or slowing down

‘Your heart pounds and you can't breathe. You may even feel like you're dying or going crazy.’
‘Mine are like I can't stand up, I can't speak. All I feel is an intense amount of pain all over, like something is just squeezing me into this little ball. If it is really bad I can't breathe, I start to hyperventilate and I throw up.’
‘At their worst, you can be thrown to the ground and totally unable to function. It feels like a terrorist attack or being chased by dinosaurs -- yet while you want to run for your life, you can’t’
‘its like a wave that takes over you, fast and its consumes every part of your body in a sudden movement. you cant think, function or do anything, everything seems slow but fast in the same second, i cant explain it’
"My body feels tingly and I get dizzy. I feel like ice is running through my veins. I want to run away from my body but I can't, of course. Shallow breathing. Heart racing. Total panic.”
"It feels like every wall is closing in towards me; like I can't see straight and my vision suddenly becomes spotty. Tunnel vision describes it perfectly.”
"Like taking off, except the engine that lifts you up is the fear and you cannot tell it to go away. [It feels like a rollercoaster ride and an adrenalin high, but you're seated.”
"They feel like all of a sudden, everything around you is looking at you, feeling you, sucking the air out of you, pulling the ground from beneath you.”
‘being trapped, in a cage that shallows you hole and keeps you captive'
