Home More advice Health

My entire life has been a plethera of extreme emotions. I have never really been able to keep a stable mood for long, and I get very nervous and paranoid quickly. About a year ago I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression, and I get panic attacks that usually come literally out of nowhere. The biggest trigger for my panic attacks are anything that appears demonic or inhuman. For example, my boyfriend and I were once joking around and he started coming at my sideways with a twisted expression on his face. First I was laughing and then I crumbled to the floor and started shaking, crying hysterically and having trouble breathing. He had somehow accidentally terrorized me. He did a similar movement about a month ago that led to a less severe but still bad reaction. I don't think about these attacks at all. Something just triggers them and then BOOM, I'm down and shaking and crying uncontrollably. Does anyone else have or had something similar to this?
