In the past few years I've started to experience more pronounced panic attacks or the early onset of one.

Typically something will start to stress me like an impending social situation or something at work and I will feel stressed but start to notice physical symptoms - such as the feeling of not being able to breath, my heart racing, feeling of "impending doom" which is often catastrophizing whatever is on my mind, etc.

It takes time for me to come back from it and if I don't find a way to "reset" I find that my symptoms tend to snowball. I feel helpless and dependent on outside help to get through moments like these yet like too much of a burden to actually seek assistance since I don't even know what would help.
