Ok so I'm only speculating, but I'm pretty sure I just had an anxiety attack. I have no idea why though. This was the first one I have ever had and I have had much more stressful times in my life. Hell I'm at home playing video games. One second I was fine the next I felt like crying and wanted to puke. Then my mind started racing and I still want to cry. I felt like something horrible happened to my chickens (yes I have chickens and they are like my pets) I had to check on them to stop shaking. Of course they were fine just like always and I knew they would be, but I felt like crap. I'm still on like an adrenaline high. It feels exactly like a fight or flight response from a rollar coaster or something. All I want to do is cry. Last year around this time I became very depressed but never really reached out it was the darkest time of my life and I'm petrified to go back. Can someone like tell me what's going on. I haven't been stressed out in weeks.
As someone who's suffered from Anxiety all my life I can tell you that your symptoms sound more like a Panick Attack as it appeared very sudden in an extreme way. Usually anxiety starts slower and intensifies over time. If you're worried of falling back into depression might I suggest you go see a therapist? Sometimes just talking it out with a professional helps a lot.
I am currently taking medication for depression and seeing a therapist for that and being transgender. If you ever slide back into depression and really start considering suicide, then I would definitely go see a therapist or let someone close to you know... Depression is definitely tough, definitely one of my darkest times. I hope you feel better (*hug*)
I'm not drepressed right now I'm just freaked out from the panic attack just because I've never dealt with one before. I just don't know what to do. I'm not slipping into depression I am just afraid that this could trigger it. I guess I just needed to talk about it. Good luck to both of you(*hug*).
