Im a 22 year old man.. I just started on a Graphic Design course (2years). Today i was working in my group and everyone was staring at their laptops and writing parts to the assignment.
Suddenly i started shaking and felt strange feelings through my body and felt like i was going to cry.
Also i couldnt focus when one of my groupmates asked me if I was bored. It lasted for 30 mins and then i excused my group and rode my bicycle home.

On the way i started crying (no reason?) and had trouble breathing. And when i came back home and chilled for a while I started to feel better.

What the hell is going on. This is the first time i have felt like this and been shaking aswell (i had a similar experience 6 years ago, where i just started to cry).

I have had a depression some years ago and was on medication. I'm very scared of presentations and i never had a girlfriend.

Is it possible that I have social Anxiety? and was this experience a Panic Attack?

Hello and welcome, I'd say it sounds like a panic attack...

Other things which usually accompany an attack are: a racing heart, terrible fear, feeling like you might go mad or that you're dying, feeling either very hot or very cold, or both, sweating, feeling like you need to empty your bladder or bowels, dizziness, plus the things you mentioned.
