Once in middle school, I was feeling really overwhelmed. I can’t remember exactly why, but it really hit the tipping point when some kids were fighting and accidentally slammed me into a locker. When I got to class, I couldn’t help it, and I started crying. I was hyperventilating and I couldn’t control it. Years later, when something similar happened again, I realized that it might have been a panic attack. Yes? No?

      @BrookXbangtan yeah i’ve felt it build up before, but i think it’s more a byproduct of my adhd. it’s usually when I have a lot going on and i’m super stressed so I reach a tipping point where any little event makes me hyperventilate a bit and cry and it’s really embarrassing. like i get frustrated over not understanding things in class and then boom waterworks. thank you for sharing your experience!

      Most likely a panic attack. I've had it before and I honestly blank out except for my emotions which go haywire. Once I've calmed down, I notice where I am. But yes. I believe it was a panic attack

      It was probably an anxiety attack, I had a similar experience (in the way that i couldn’t control my crying, not the being slammed into a locker,, that’s horrible btw)

        @daisyRain yeah it was really shocking. but i broke my arm a week or so later in a soccer tournament and had to wear a sling, and what made that moment nicer was the big guy who pushed the person who ran into me came up to me one day and apologized and asked me if they were the ones who broke my arm. i could tell he felt bad, but it was really nice because i was like aw he was worried that he might’ve done it and he actually came up to me to ask :) because it takes courage to admit mistakes

      Quite possible. What calmed you down?

        @CameronElizabeth I… don’t remember? I have bad memory :P I think it was my friends, but I’m not sure what exactly they did.
