Are anxiety attacks and panic attacks the same thing? I think I had one the other day and I'm asking for a friend... -- nm - Diva May 11, 06:35 22
- my understanding, having had both, is that anxiety you generally know the source of, panic you do not. - colin May 11, 07:47 2
  - also... - colin May 11, 07:49 1
    - Thank you for this. It's very helpful. - Diva May 11, 08:20
- I would have thought it was the other way around, but like Pippy says below, Panic: sudden gripping fear, Anxiety: drawn out over time fear. - JaxSean May 11, 06:42
- For me they are interchangeable, but I'm probably being sloppy. There are some attacks that come out of nowhere. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 06:38
- sort of. Panic ones come from no where sort of out of the blue and SUDDEN. Anxiety ones can built to a high intensity and sort of linger around - Pippy - can't seem to get it right May 11, 06:37 15
  - Yep. Panic attacks hit very fast and usually require me to get a medication to counter them. Good thing is they are more rare. - bacon May 11, 07:44
  - I'm pretty sure it was a culmination of everything. Uncertainty in our current climate, COVID-fears, not being able to plan ANYTHING, - Diva May 11, 06:44 13
