People experience things differently from you and you are suprised?

I think telling people to gently caress off if they are filming you should be acceptable in any circumstance. Especially if its so that they can mock you.

Apparently at least one in five people have had one.

I thought I was having one once but turned out I had arrhythmia and they took me to hospital because my heart rate was over 200 and I had to be medicated lol xd.

So no-ones told you about it and your reaction has been "its not really real". Most likely some people have experienced them in a friendship group you have but they have, apparently, decided not to tell you. It's like thinking you don't know any autistic folks just because no one has said it to you, or LGBT+.

Most "panic attacks" are self induced attention seeking.

Oh no it's a bit crowded in a place I don't want to be let me pretend to hyperventilate.

It's one of the terrible things that can happen to people that has been latched onto by idiots to make themselves feel better.

What does it cost you to be kind to someone whose having an anxiety attack? What is lost by extending help?

I had to deal with a dying duckling a few days ago at work and had to go and have a little cry and my colleagues were all really helpful. It cost them nothing to be kind to someone who was upset.

Do you think it makes you smarter to say "they are faking it" or more tough? I'm interested to know.

Do you not see how your own ideas apply outward to other, similar, things? Like, it surely isn't too much of a jump for many folks to say that "crying over that is just attention seeking".

Also any response to the other questions?

If you're crying alone you should try to find some help.

yes, clearly that's what I'm saying and not that it's possible they're crushed by hopelessness and feel that seeking help is pointless or counterproductive or a burden or any of a thousand things.

Lemme guess, depressed people should just try "feeling happy"?

No because feeling happy is just temporary if that for some people.

i never said they arent real, although i do think that this place tends to latch onto things like that in a weird way, since it seems to attract a lot of narcissists

On at least the later point I would agree.

But, regardless of the rest, people you know have experienced them around you. And it doesn't take anything to be kinder to folks who do suffer from it.

I love this because people always tell on themselves with it.

I hope so. Its up to all of us to try and be better. Even if it is by telling a teenager to gently caress off when he starts taking pictures of your girlfriend as "Snapchat laughs".

In my 20s I'd had two panic attacks, which were at that time all the ones I'd had in my entire life, but in my 30s a doctor prescribed me Adderall and throughout the year kept increasing the dose and I was having panic attacks several times a week. I haven't had a panic attack in five years since getting off Adderall, but my experience left me with loving wounds. I am terrified of panic attacks now, or the idea that I could have one. I mean, it's not going to send me into a panic attack, worrying about panic attacks, but it's still a thing that I now regularly have to add to my fuckin baggage. Being reduced to a blubbering mess, where all I hear is SOUND and my lungs feel smaller than a dime, it's a loving awful state.

Not sure about that. Ketchup tasting that way probably has something to do with the fact that they put 3 lbs of sugar per teaspoon of ketchup.

Plain tomato juice tastes like the blood you get from squeezing a very ripe zombie's testicles.

No, I experienced it before without the meds, but Adderall did shoot my panic threshold to such a degree that it didn't take much to trigger it.

Should also say that Adderall under the right dosages and responsible management can really help people and I know people who take it and it works great for them; it just didn't for me.

TBF I never had a classical panic attack (that I know of) but if you are always either drunk or in alcohol withdrawal it's probably hard to tell.
