Panic attack

Arguably the most extreme manifestation of acute anxiety, a panic attack is an episode of sudden apprehension and intense fear, combined with physiological symptoms that closely resemble a heart attack.

A panic attack is the most frightening experience one can ever experience; I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Gay Panic Attack

Definition accustomed to queer folks who love women but can be applied to all the LGBTQ+ community:
The moment when you see a beautiful woman and you just get overwhelmed by her beauty so instead of figuring out what to do next, your brain gets stuck into a loop of aggressively internally screaming WOMAN.

Friend: Why didn't you talk to her if you found her attractive.
Me: I couldn't, I was having a Gay Panic Attack.

Panic Attack

The absolute worst possible feeling a person can ever experience. Period. Basically having a panic attack feels like impending doom even though absolutely nothing can be going wrong in the outside world. Symptoms include, but are certainly not limited to:

Intense Anxiety/fear
Dizziness
Tingling sensation
Fear of heart stopping
Tunnel Vision
Spinning/Spiraling sensation when you close your eyes
Throat/airway constricting
Heart palpitations
Pounding/racing heart/thoughts
Sweating

Basically, it just majorly sucks balls to go through a (real) panic attack. Panic attacks are one of the most misunderstood terms in today's vocabulary. Commonly in today's society people will make the statement "I'm having a panic attack because I have so much work/school/other issues to think about", this of course is not true, because someone who is going through a panic attack is literally so scared they can't even speak. It is actually a mental disorder that should be treated immediately because literally NO ONE deserves to feel this shitty.

See "Hell"

If I met the man who murdered my grandmother, and had the option of making him experience panic attacks as punishment, I don't think I would. Literally crushing his nuts with 2 bricks would be a less severe punishment
