Do you cry when you get a panic attack?

My eyes start to... you know when you get wind blown into your eyes quite hard, and they dry up and you sort of.... eh, i can't explain, but if you now what I mean, my eyes get like that, and if the panic attack carries on, they start to water. I usually chicken out of any situation, so I haven't fully cried yet, but I think I would if I carried on doing what caused the previously mentioned symptoms
 
I used to. I used to cry from frustration,too. I was just a little kid though.
I was never taught by my parents how to handle a stressful situation appropriately.So...yeah. I used to cry and panic.

What worked for me was breathing evenly, (I used to get hysterical too) and rationalise what the worst outcome could possibly be. After I rationalised the situation, I would be calmer.

Yes I always cry. I don't swear or excessively blush, I just cry. I think it will make any future boyfriend really uncomfortable haha.

I usually do cry. And if I don't full on cry, my throat with get all closed up like with the feeling that I'm about to burst into tears.

Yeah, because I'm often scared of dying from a heart attack.
Every time, I try to tell myself that it's just a panic attack... >.>;
 
I think it's a pretty normal thing to want to cry after having a panic attack. I get my self so worked up that I can't breathe and I all I want to do is run as far as I can before I pass out... but eventually I break down and cry and it usually make things better. It's like the big ball of ick that was building up in my stomach just goes away and then I feel sedated and I can sleep.

Yes, I do cry when I get a panic attack. I have never been able to understand why either - maybe fear? I don't know. But yes, I do and You are not alone!

I had them years ago, I didn't cry, often ended up vomiting in terror though. Thank god I got over them!
