Q: Hands Up Who Thought They Were Going Crazy!

When I first had a panic attack I immediately thought I was going insane. Logically speaking if you were insane you wouldn`t really know about it cos your insane right? And everything would be normal to you.

It just amazes me how we automatically think that loss of control means madness. How many of you have done it?

Well when I had my panic attacks, I had no idea! I had just met my crazy father so I thought I was having a mental breakdown. All the fuzzy and strange thoughts went zipping through my head and my body felt like it was on another planet. Who wouldnt think they were losing it! Thankfully, I think I found on the internet that I had a panic attack. I felt so relieved!
