i was out in town last night and suddenly i had a huge panic attack and then again when i got home, i managed to sort myself out but i was wondering what causes them, im under alot of stress at the moment could it be because of this?

I used to suffer panic attacks when i was in large crowds. I think that was due to anxiety.

I have anxiety attacks when I'm stressed.
Not really very fun,but that's what I've put them down to.
I had one in the middle of the night last night,because I was lying in bed panicking about coursework instead of sleeping.

What are you stressed about?

Maybe, I dunno, make a list of things you need to get done (include mundane things like shopping lists and stuff) and put them in an order to be done, crossing them off helps you feel like you have a bit of control over things.
