mine can be triggered by literally anything linked to social situations and people in general, though i've gotten better after years of psych care and meds. as in, they're not as recurrent as they used to be - i could barely go outside. my diagnosis has been SAD in the past but they're rethinking things since i've been struggling with it so long ft. other symptoms
i'm more prone to them in new places or situations,, depending on context i may have been stressing about it days prior and more than often i stay home to avoid the event altogether. even and esp important ones
they start with slow realization, like i can feel myself tensing up and my thoughts getting faster and more uhm,,, bad. if i don't have my anxiety meds with me i'm extra screwed. i tear up, walls start falling on me. my heart starts racing and i enter "fight or flight" mode except fight is not an option. it's like "i have to get home or i'll die", for home is the only place where i feel completely safe
must be fucked up to get them completely out of the blue tho,, hope you can find a way to at least ease them
