Panic Attack Without The Panic

[Missionaryman]

So, right now, I feel exactly the same way after I went through a panic attack a few days ago. The only difference is that there is no negative thoughts or reactions. Just extreme energy and the will to run a marathon. I felt the exact same will to run, but a few days ago it was to run-away. Now I just need to push a car. Anyone else have these episodes?

I'm not sure, but when something like that happens to me I think of it more as an anxiety attack. Almost the same symptoms, but without the panic.

Not sure as I am still just learning, but it seems that there are different reactions to stress/anxiety. Personally I have had the panic attacks, chest and neck pain, back/shoulder muscle pain and spasms, butterflies, racing thoughts, accelerated pulse. I think perhaps everyone is different and also you change as time goes on...hopefully for the better!

Oh yea and the blank stare...detached from the world! I did that recently on the stand in court- a wierd zone out.

Sounds like what I get when I am indeed having a panic attack, but am dissociated or numb to the fear involved. Certain triggers will set me off with so much adrenaline that I don't have much fear accompanying it. Sorta like fight versus flight.
