    That's called a panic attack, unlike regular anxiety that's situational, panic attacks can happen randomly. I'd suggest talking to a professional for advice on what to do, my knowledge on the subject is kind of limited.

      I looked that up and it makes sense. :( It was sort of hard to figure it out with only my description. Why now? This sucks.

        Is there anything that happened around when it started or before that could have triggered it? Doesn't have to be something huge, but something.

        Some things come at certain ages too.. I didn't start struggling with mood disorder really badly til I was 19 or 20, and I read that some psychological problems don't pop up til during or after adolescence.

          Well I'm 20. I was diagnosed with depression when I was 16. Having my parents know about it only made things worse though so I hide it. My family, on both sides, have a long line of depression and anxiety. I never knew about panic attacks though.

          I guess now that you mention it, this fall I'm starting college for the first time. I've been panicked about how I'm going to pay for it because I don't know how much FAFSA will cover and I'm a jobless POS. :<
