Is it normal to be tweaked/agitated during an anxiety attack?
I was thinking about really puny things like happiness and mild existentialism, but it's always happening for no apparent reason.
My heart is racing really fast, I'm feeling sick right now.
I can`t calm down, I'm having an anxiety attack and I have no reason to.
I feel like I'm gonna die from a heart failure or something.
I'm feeling too agitated to go sleep, it's been 5 hours now.
It's always happening for no apparent reason.
Any tips on how to calm down?
I think I might have PTSD

Do you mind sharing what was this traumatic event? It's perfectly normal having these feelings. Panic and anxiety attacks induce extreme fear in your heart. You have to reach for love, Anon. You need more love in your life. Or maybe you do have love in your life but you can't feel it. Respect yourself enough to cut the bad ties off of your life and embrace what really is dear to you.
And when you say there is no reason...well, there is always a reason for these type of situations. Don't ignore your feelings.
Incorporate some form of physical exercise into your life, a milder one focusing on relaxation. Have you tried meditating? Or just going into nature to stare at the lake. The bees and the birds. Work on feeling safe. This world is crazy enough so we need to be anchored from the inside, does that make any sense?

OP, a therapist might be able to help you figure this one out. Other than that, for immediate relief, you could try playing Tetris for a good hour. The game is proven to inhibit the formation of traumatic memories.
Thanks guys.
I don't know the reason behind my anxiety.

Take deep breaths and relax with some calming music you enjoy. Above all, be patient with yourself.
