When I am out, I can almost always expect panic onset.
- I grow uncomfortable for some reason. (certain)
- The reason can vary widely.
- Epinephrine storms the system. (certainly perceived but no clinical assurance)
- Lungs tighten, constricting breathing. (certain)
- Time slows tremendously. (certain)
- Every second passes slow enough that I can look at multiple perceptions occurring in a given second. (certain)
- In this slowing there is constant repetition. The self lives aspects of the event again through its own reflection: difficulty breathing, tightness of chest, numbness of hands and arms, sadness, shame for limitations, embarrassment for being seen so limited, et cetera
- At this time, I think this is all caused by different levels of epinephrine or its release. (not assured)
- If I can not get home by the time I planned (managing how much I can do), I feel somewhere between despondent to highly agitated. (certain)
- I feel my mind is too fuzzy, and despondent to continue.
This has improved, thank God.
