1)Do you tend to have more panic attacks while standing up, or sitting down?
When I was having bad attacks they almost always happened when I was standing up, maybe one or two happened when I was sitting down.
2) Have you ever had a panic attack that was so intense, it exhilarated you instead of terrifying you?
No, I was always scared to death...at least until the Doctor told me what they were, then I knew what they were so they didn't scare as much.
3)Have you ever had a panic attack in a dream (not you physically, but you IN the dream) and not having felt any after effects when waking up?
I never dreamed about my attacks or dreamed I was having one.
4)Have you ever become so derealized that all your other symptoms have pretty much disappeared, except for the derealization?
No, I actually don't remember having derealization and my other symptoms at the same time.
Probably the only time that happened was the first time I had an attack.
I usually either had the other symptoms or the derealization, but not at the same time.

5) Have you ever had an uncontrollable fit of laughter in the middle of an attack simply because of how ludicrous the situation suddenly appeared in your mind?
Oh yeah, I used to do that all the time.
One second I'd be having an attack and the next I'd be laughing, but I had no idea what I was laughing at. |
