I’ve been calling the following examples panic attacks, but then I read a thing about panic attacks for people with anxiety and now I’m confused.
example: I read something that triggers a flashback and I relive the emotions of the event which cause intense panic, escape, crying, shaking. Is it a panic attack from a flashback or just a flashback?
next day: I’m driving and briefly think of my child drinking in a bar and I relive the panic, emotion crying feelings. Panic attack or flash back?
I have GAD and ptsd on my psychiatrist chart. My therapist also has that down but says I have complex ptsd which I agree with, but am I labeling things correctly about panic attacks? (I usually tell her it was triggered by a flashback).
