Sometimes, our brains make things seem scary, when they're actually not. It can be because of a social situation, past experiences, something big coming up, etc.

It could mean that you are under a lot of stress or you could have a panic disorder. If it is very overwhelming and hard to handle, if I was in your shoes, I would see a doctor or medical health professional.

You might have a disorder if it impacts your life too much, or you could just have a lot going on in your life right now.

Well everyone is different. Nobody is the same. You could be having frequent panic attacks but you should seek the advice of a counselor, therapist or physician who can help you.

Panic is a sign of sudden fear caused due to unexpected events. If you are panic a lot it means there is low confidence and you tend to get nervous a lot.

For me it's the feeling of being completely overwhelmed or without any semblance of control; It's what I do in order to realise I need to break the issue/problem/ whatever it may be down into smaller manageable parts.

Panic is normal! Everyone panics every once in a while. This usually because if stress. When you panic all the time, however it's not so good. I would talk to your doctor about if it happens very often.

Panic can mean many things. It can indicate a learned emotional response to a certain event, or it can even be a manifestation of underly stress, anxiety, or anger problems. A licensed therapist is essential in identifying the underlying cause of panic.
