I didn't realize I was having them for a long time, I thought I was "just stressing out" but for me they usually ramped up right before I was making my final push out the door to get to work.
I think that is the beauty of what you are doing here. "Maybe" if I would have read this 5 years ago I would have noticed that was what was going on for me. At very least, I can chime in and normalize that as humans, our nervous systems are wired to be on alert for threats. Sometimes our sensors need recalibrating.
It’s an inspiration to listen to you and even though I’ve never had panic attacks I’m sure that every one that’s here and suffered them greatly appreciate your honesty and support.
