jesus
i don't have anything else to say other than that

Jesus christ the description of those attacks. I have had severe panic attacks before and they are awful, but its hard for me to comprehend randomly attacking nurses because of one. I was always barely coherent/able to coordinate my limbs.

Same, I've probably had hundreds of panic attacks by this point in my life and I've never even once though of getting violent with someone during them. Pretty sure there's some other mental illness or personality disorder going on if a person's reaction to anxiety is violence.

Yeah, that ain't it chief, try again.

Anxiety does not make you violent. It does not make you go on a rampage in a fucking ER.

Honestly, it sounds like he did a little too much coke. The "heart attack" feeling, the anxiety, the aggression and violence...

He says his blood tests came back negative but I guess he could be lying??

Either that, or he was on something that wasn't tested for/there isn't a test available for.

I've had a panic attack that sent me to urgent care and then the ER. I was so terrified I could hardly walk and had a numb arm. No way was I capable of doing something like that just from anxiety wtf

Yup same it’s how I learned what anxiety really was tbh. I was 20 yo, I thought I was having a heart attack because my arm was numb and my heart was racing, I went to the ER and the doctor told me “you’re having an anxiety attack sis pretty normal for an undergrad” and I was like 😮

[yousaidlog]

Yup full on thought I was having a cardiac episode. I just felt so scared and weird, nauseous, and my left arm was pins and needles by the time we got to urgent care. It was almost 10 years ago and I hope I never experience that again.
