I don't know what it si but I get panic attacks when I'm all alone in a big area. it doesn't even have to be big, it could be a 2x4 space and I'd get a panic attack. I always need someone next to me. But anyway whenever I'm home I always feel like crying. Does anyone else?
Do you cry when you get a panic attack?

Yes I cry during my panic attacks
I always want to cry. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

Whenever i have a panic attack i always end up crying during it because of all the emotions running around my body i cant cope with it.
Same here, I'm an emotional rollercoaster, emotions needs to burst out.
Sometimes I feel like crying, but can't, sometimes it all comes out during the panic attack, I know, when I'm feeling sad cuz of the reason that it is so hard dealing with panic, fear and such, tears will falll down. This fight is a challenge, of breaking through panic, and I hope we'll learn to cope with it, learning strategies to cope with SA.

I normally cry during a panic attack, I can't help it but all the emotions just flow out and I can't hold them.
There are times when I want to but I just can't, like all the tears are dried up and gone.
Normally after the attack I cry more because of how overwhelming it all was, and if it was in a more public place, like school, I normally get really embarrassed as well, which I always result in crying.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It usually depends on the situation. I will usually cry if the panic attack is insanely severe and/or I've had them continuously during a short period of time. That isn't to say that I'm not full of emotions every time I have anxiety, though. I'm always a wreck.

Oh, yes-- I don't just cry, I bawl.
Ugly face, sobbing, puffy red nose, eyes, the works.
And that is why I don't leave my room.
I leave my room > I get a panic attack > I embarrass myself or people think I'm retarded.
Best solution= don't go anywhere.

Never. I honestly wish that I was able to. I haven't had a panic attack for months. Those of you who know me, know that this is huge. For over a decade I had them everyday sometimes two or three times a day. Sometimes when I was at my lowest, I would cry about what I was going through, but never during. That is just not the way I am. When I used to have them it would really feel like an attack, like fighting. I would be too focused on trying to win, and being scared, to be sad. I think that for those of you who cry, you should not feel ashamed, actually you should embrace that. The only real way to handle a panic attack, is to accept it. If you give up fighting it, and just let it have it's way with you it will go away. I have been dealing with this for about thirteen years now. If any of you are having a hard time with Panic, please PM me or IM or VM, I would be more than happy to listen and give you all the advice and solutions I have learned over the years.

Same here. I'm completely breathless when it happens and I'm so caught up in the fear that I might die that the tears can't come out.

I do, but it only comes out when im alone. If there are other people i get very, very numb until later. then the floodgates open, i have a good, hard cry, and then i have a headache i need to sleep off.

i remember one time in high school i thought i was being chased so i ran straight into someones yard jumped their fence n went into their shed, grabbed a golf club n started yelling at their neighbours for help, they thought i was crazy n called the police. one of them let me in his yard for a while so i could calm down. then i ran home and was stressin n cryin for ages. it turn out i just saw one of my friends standing in the street n freaked out, when i seen him again he was like wtf man! i just saw u nd ran off! and just laughed at me thinkin i was playin around...

I've only one panic attack that I actually remember quite well, and yes I did cry. I think it's actually quite important to let it all out.
