      Same, but to be clear, we’re talking about panic attacks, right? That is exactly what the meme is talking about, or should be.

      OTOH, there are these people: “Gosh! Sometimes I’m nervous in social situations and don’t know how to act! I have an anxiety disorder!”

      No you don’t buttercup, you have “being a typical human disorder”. And most likely, no one even notices your discomfort. One time I was on LSD at a party and talking to a guy, freaking out internally. “Man, I’m sorry, but I’m tripping balls right now.” He had no idea!

    I’ve had a stressful month at work with lots of overtime and unrealistic deadlines. That is over since last friday, but I’m still feeling the anxiety come over me in waves, every now and than. I’m taking a week off next week.

    Well described. I had this feeling for like 40 years before I really understood that it wasn’t like a personal failing. Treating it now, and wish I had done so sooner.
