I could be super happy i might be having a good time around my family and friend and suddenly i just got that weird terribly frightening feeling of being chased by something i could never run away from because that thing is always with me, im carrying it with me.

If you face things like excessive worrying, restlessness, irritability, difficulty in concentrating, difficulty in sleeping, possibility of panic attacks and other signs.
