Yeah, it usually happens to me when I’m already stressed about something whether I know it or not and when I have too much sugar. It also happens randomly so I guess it’s just something tied to anxiety.

✋Me, so me.. happens ESPECIALLY after napping and sometimes waking up in the morning. At other times I will have panic episodes in afternoon between 4 and 7pm . Have no idea why.. 😔💕🤦‍♀️

Just starting about a month ago I've been having panic attacks every morning, almost before I'm even fully awake. I got put on Zoloft and Vistaril but they aren't helping. Instead, I immediately get dressed and go out for a walk or a run. The physical activity takes me out of my mind and distracts me.
