Difference Between Anxiety & Panic Attacks

What is the difference between panic attack and anxiety attack?

Anxiety Question:

When I can’t take a deep breath I start to get really panicky and worry that I’ll stop breathing. Is this weird behavior a panic or anxiety attack? What is the difference between the two?

Anxiety Answer:

For a panic disorder sufferer this is very typical.

If you’re starting to get one or already have a disorder, a breathing disturbance is just one of your triggers for an attack.

There is absolutely no difference between the anxiety attack and panic attack; they both mean the same thing.

Don't Postpone Your Happiness

"When it comes to stress and depression, this kind of 'I'll be happy when...' type of thinking can be a real problem. One day, you start to realize that all of the goals you've achieved haven't brought you that much happiness. That's because you didn't appreciate it at the time because you were too busy setting the next 'I'll be happy when ...' goal."

From the book titled "Conquering Stress" by Chris Green
