I had a panic attack once. To be honest, it was really just me being melodramatic about something stupid, an attention ploy. It worked, but I felt stupid afterwards. Never again for me. No flaming. That was just a teenage insecurity thing that happened to ME and may not be why it happened(s) to anyone else. I went to the Dr. They wanted to put me on some pills. I told them I was fine. I moved on. In a nutshell that's my experience about anxiety problems.

The pills really only mask the problem and dull the senses IMO. Atleast that's what they did to me.

When I learned to communicate effectively, the majority of my anxiety and insecurities went away.
