I suffer from horrible anxiety and panic attacks that totally prevent me from seeing any movie in theaters, does that count?

I'd say!

I went through a period of having anxiety attacks and there is no sensation like it.

The first time it happened my ex was driving me in the car and I begged him to stop the car and I collapsed against a fence. I couldn't breath, everything was spinning around, passers-by thought I was having a heart attack and offered to call an ambulance. I was on beta-blockers for months.

You have my sympathy there.

Weirdly (and I'm not suggesting this as a cure) my one and only illegal drugs experience stopped it dead (probably because it was more horrific than anything in the real world).

You heard it here kids do not ever,ever, ever eat 15 space cakes in one sitting.

You may be peckish but the results are like H.P. Lovecraft really pushing the boat out.

Got rid of the anxiety attacks though, nearly lost my mind in the process.

You are right, there is nothing like that. I never had the world spin, but my chest gets really tight, not painful, but tight, and my heart will beat really fast and I'll just get really weird.

And hahaha I know it's not funny to you, but someone who suffers from anxiety deciding to eat 15 space cakes in and of itself is kindof funny, sorry to be insensitive, and I appreciate that.

I do smoke weed, which is a mixed bag as it often helps but on occasion makes it far worse. I would probably be better off on the anxiety front overall if I gave it up for good, but the times when it makes it better are so blissful and worry free it seems worth it to have the odd bad trip now and again. (strong stuff around here)
