| What is panic? |
| PTSD info |
| Panic = intense fear. Panic Attack = panic +4 or more Symptoms. Panic Attack Syndrome = chronic panic attacks. |
| Panic isn't necessarily hysterical behavior or losing control. Fear doesn't always show, and neither does panic. Some people train themselves to seem "normal". They might even believe they are "normal". |
| I used to think my panic was only stress. I thought everybody felt like I did. I hid my feelings very well. That's good up to a point, but it blocked me from getting help, and it created misunderstandings. |
| A word about being "normal." Having PTSD from untreated trauma is normal. If you went through all that without trauma, you'd have to be a robot. |
