Hi Diva, no your question doesn't sound stupid at all ! Try not to get too hung up about labelling things, just aim, with this site to try and get your general level of anxiety down. I know exactly what you're talking about tho', during my 'recovery' my anxiety levels were through the roof, but apart from the odd occasion I never had to run away and lie down. I would try and distract myself, any way I could, try to get my breathing sorted, and generally try to concentrate on something else. I don't know about you, but when I was having a panic attack I would be incapable of any of that ! It would just hit me like a ton of bricks and I'd have to get my husband to help, lie down, floor or bed I didn't care where !And panic !! So I guess if you're able to function on some level I would say you're not having a panic attack ! Sounds to me like you're doing really well !! Your anxiety levels will come down, honestly, just try not to give in to it, distraction is definately the way to go !! Good luck, you can do it !
