Panic attacks can feel intense, overwhelming & isolating but you’re not alone 💙 Everyone experiences them differently. Some are obvious, others happen quietly. During a panic attack your brain & body act like there’s danger even when there isn’t - causing dizziness, nausea, shaking or racing heart.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell when a mate is struggling, especially if they keep saying they’re “okay.” There are usually small signs that things might not be all good – it often comes down to changes in their behaviour. [Continued in thread] #mentalhealth #genz #wellbeing #youthmentalhealth
