What is the differance between...

Panic attacks and Anxiety attacks?

I have often wondered.



I want to kiss the bottom of the ocean before I burst through its surface into the sunlight, otherwise I will always be wondering about what was left unseen at the bottom


i'm tired of chasing my dreams.
i'm just gonna ask where they're going,
and hook up with them later.

I asked this once, too! The general reply I got said that panic attacks are more phsyical. Like trouble breathe, shaking, sweating. While Anxiety attacks are attacks of overwhelming feelings of anxiety. I think.

Hmm, I thought going definitive would help but still don't think this clarifies it =/

Hard to explain.



The most profound things are inexpressible.

I think anxiety attacks are where you are thinking about something that makes you anxious and it's overwhelming. Panic attacks are where the physical symptoms seem to come out of nowhere when you aren't even thinking about something that makes you anxious. But the symptoms are exactly the same other than that.





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

You didn't come this far just to come this far.

They are pretty much the same, even wikipedia says so!



Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…

you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.

I've always wondered that too:)



Should've said something but I've said it enough.
