Hi guys! My name is Kayla and basically I’m very new to having panic attacks and anxiety attacks so I really need help.

About 3 months ago I had my first one (I’m not sure the difference between a panic attack or anxiety attack) but I was watching a movie and all of a sudden I started crying and my chest got really tight and it got hard to breathe. My hands and legs were shaking and it was hard to stand. I went upstairs to my room and called my boyfriend and he talked to me for a while and helped me calm down. I had never experienced anything like it.

A month ago my boyfriend broke up with me and I found out he was cheating. Ever since that happened I’ve been having a lot more episodes like what I described. Sometimes not as bad though.

Last Saturday I took a bath and put a few bath bombs in and lit some candles (self care right girls) anyway I was snapchating my friend and he saw the red bath (because my bath bomb) and totally freaked out and thought it was blood. Right after he told me that I had a horrible one. I couldn’t catch my breath and I felt so scared. I have no idea why.

I guess what I’m trying to say is I don’t know what’s going on with me but I would love some help! Is it a panic attack? Or something else? Is it normal? How can I help myself? Thank you so much 💞
