Does anyone else feel as though they are losing their mind when they have a panic attack?

This is one of the main experiences one goes through with panic attacks in my opinion.  They can be frightening and very confusing when they happen, but they can be dealt with just like anything else.  Have you had anxiety problems in the past?

I feel not only like I am loosing my mind but, also like I am gonna die.  I cannot breath and litterally have a panic attack.  The little things that I don't even let pass by my brain come into play and my heart and brain are racing a mile a second and I can't breath, I hyperventilate and feel light headed like I am gonna pass out.  I start to cry like a crazy woman and just feel yuck.  So, to answer your question, yes I do feel like I am loosing my mind.  Most of the time, like 99% of the time my husband is with me and he has to sit me down quickly and carefully cause I am still in my wheelchair and TLSO, and he grabs a paper bag, and makes me breath into it.  He bought a whole pack of those little brown paper bags - like the ones that kids pack lunch in, just for my attacks.  My mom had open heart surgery a couple of years ago and when she would come to visit right after her surgery she had to have oxygen and I still had an oxygen tank with the hose on it and the first time I had an attack, my husband put the oxygen to me.  I have no idea if it worked or not but, he felt like he was curing me.  I felt bad for what I put him through and afterward I laughed my butt off thinking about how I must have looked with that oxygen hose hanging off of my head but, he felt like it helped me, so I didn't say anything to him cause like I said, I felt bad for putting him through that and I saw it made him feel better when he thought he helped me so I just kept my mouth shut.
