Does anyone else get like a surge of energy feeling through them when in a state of panic, like it makes you want to stop what your doing and run outside, it ties in with the 'sense if impending doom' I think, was just woundering if anyone else has experienced this

    I've had similar experiences like this. When i had my first panic attack i was just stood on a bustop and suddenly i had a sense of doom overwhelm me and my first insticnt was to run away. I hear some people staying in bed or remaining static when their in a state of panic, but as for myself i beleieve i felt what youre talking about.

    It's anxiety....a sudden rush of adrenaline....It's very scary...it can't hurt you but feels dreadful...if you can....ignore it try to carry on with what you are doing...take deep breathes . It will pass....the thing is not to start dreading the next one....almost makes it happen....anxiety is awful but you can manage it...Just don't give it power. Perhaps you should see your doctor? BEST of luck.....J

    Yes, I get this a lot. The nervous energy is sometimes all that gets me through when I am like that
