not at the peak level, and i'd rather classify it more as anxiety.
the onset of anxiety can lead to depression (they are both different), and i have gone through (and still going through) some of the toughess time in all my life.
here's a reddit thread that has given me some tips recently https://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/comment...nic_depression/
the takeaway i get is, sleep !
i rarely get restful sleep. my mind is hyperactive. i always wake in the middle of the night, at least once. if i wake more than once, the next day i'll be very irritated and tired. the uncontrolled thoughts is easier to attack me when i am at the weakest.
when i get the onset of panic attack, i know my symptom quite alot now, which is very fast heart rate and the hand will turn ice cold. what i do is, i will stop everything im doing, and do deep breathing. if that isn't enough, then i'll walk away from the location and find something else that will distract me, like scenery. then i will do the breathing exercise there until symptom subside.
now, i have bought a lavender essential oil, it helps keep me calm.
May i know more about your panic attack, especially the heart rate part. does it gradually racing up & subsides instantly after the breathing exercise?the onset of anxiety can lead to depression (they are both different), and i have gone through (and still going through) some of the toughess time in all my life.

Last month i have symptoms of physical panic attacks although my mind was clear & not really anxious.
I got a sudden increase of racing beats out of nowhere without any alarming thought, no strenuous activity at all during attack.
After experiencing a few sudden racing episode & feel ashamed to measure my heart rate with mobile apps at work (usually within 130+ bpm), i finally bought myself a fitbit device.
2 days after I got a quite nasty panic attack that sends my heart rate from 100+ to 171bpm in seconds. spontaneously cough up this one & it drops suddenly to below 100 bpm. Crazy but amusing at the same time. No other symptoms, no hyperventilation & dizzyness, just the racing beats.
Although my physical symptoms are brief but it was quite painful...lol. annoying pressure feel in chest & my back hurts hours after that episode. I got intermittent palpitation for days...lol, become very sensitive with food.
I dont think my panic was triggered by emotions, it maybe something i've eaten....for the last 6 weeks before the big attack i quit carbs cold turkey & embark on a high intensity exercising but without proper sleep & rest. I accidentally dropped on the diet bandwagon & have eaten white breads & more carbs for a few days. It looks like my body really hated that shit im eating.
Thank goodness it's been 4 weeks i dont experience it anymore. Just hoping that was the last one.
