Why did this happen?

I don't have an answer for you, but a question. . . After a panic attack- when it is completely over, I often have a sense of peace and calm, like a "why did you get so worked up about that?" And I am exhausted, so I usually fall asleep. Do you think those actions were what your body needed at the time, so they caused a panic attack? Maybe? I'm no therapist, that has just been my observation. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it. . . Maybe your body was telling you that you needed to calm down, for whatever the reason. . . Just my thoughts. . .

It is completely normal to get anxious about having another panic attack. Maybe make a list of tools that could help you in the event another one happens?

Hello @sunnyFarm2997,

I hope you are doing fine. It is okay and completely normal to experience anxiety even if you are not aware of it from time to time. You can try some grounding techniques when you feel like you are gonna have an attack.

Hi @sunnyFarm2997,

How are you doing now? I know it can be very confusing to not be aware of what is going on. However, some indicators of stress are not too obvious, so even if you are not in a stressful situation at the moment. I hope you could try some grounding technique or deep breathing exercises to help you during such time, if not you could always refer to this resource :
