Just a gut feeling...

It sounds like a panic attack, unfortunately. My best advice is to try not to let the fear itself take over, because being afraid of the fear is what really creates that vicious cycle—you just end up spinning in circles, and it becomes overwhelming. If you feel one coming on, just remember that it will pass. Try this: inhale while counting to five, hold that breath for a few seconds, and then exhale for as long as you possibly can (try to empty your lungs completely if you can). Repeat that a few times. It really does help, believe me! And if you get the chance, I’d highly recommend sitting down with a good psychologist to talk things through.
