I think I'm having a panic attack. I feel like I'm going crazy, my thoughts are all over the place. I have so much homework to do; I tried doing it today and I got a lot done, but I couldn't go any further because this started happening. I suddenly start crying and hyperventillating. I feel like I'm being sufficated and I can't stop it, not by leaving the apartment, not by trying to work again. Actually, I have a cold right now. Last night I took some zinc before bed, but then it gave me a stomach ache while I was sleeping. I had a fever nightmare, and in it I dreamt that I was at a dinner party and ate eels, but they were still alive and I could feel them swimming around in my stomach trying to get out. It was just pure panic and I had no way to deal with it. I sort of knew it was a dream, but I couldn't figure out what was going on, everything was foggy. Now I feel like I'm still in that dream; I can't figure out what's going on, I don't know what to do. Does anyone have panic attacks and how do you deal with them?
