Three times this month now it's happened that I've had something which I think is a panic attack. I'll be lying in bed when suddenly I just get.. the fear. Like, first time I thought my brain was doing something funny. It scared me because I thought I was going to go mad, and from there I just spiralled into hyperventilation, palpitations, and generally thinking I was going insane. The next time I stopped seeing things as reality. It was like, the room was spinning and I was floating in it rather than being in it, and it was so scary because I didn't recognise it as my room, it felt unsafe and not real like I was dreaming or something. And last night I had an episode again, this time I thought someone was in the house with a knife coming to kill me. I felt like I was breathing in pure carbon dioxide and not taking in enough oxygen, then my chest felt tight and my head started spinning and it was really awful, I was sure this guy was trying to kill me. Am I going mad?
