I understand exactly what you mean. If I try to tell someone just what I feel when I go through panic attacks, I seem to go one of two ways: I'm either really cold and unfeeling, as though I'm reading a textbook, or I just break down into tears and can barely even speak. Even if I'm not feeling especially vulnerable or sad at the time, I can still burst into tears when talking or even thinking about it. In fact, sometimes when I come to this site (I'm still working my way through the sessions), as I read the lessons and learn about panic attacks, I cry or feel like crying. It's natural, I think. I mean, it's a big deal, and it's a very emotional thing! It must be a part of working through it.
