Intense fear and loss of control prevail in your thoughts. They tell your mind to eliminate the invasion of this drastic influence. For the person who has a panic disorder, the senses work the same. Yet there are not necessarily any real threats to cause panic. These episodes appear for no reason and are quite irrational.
All logic is cast out.
After one or more panic attacks, some people develop a fear of returning to a similar situation where the attacks may have occured. They avoid scenarios that place them in an unfriendly environment which may deter their escape. For example, the interstate with so few exits may pose a risk and alternate routes may be chosen that offer an easier retreat. Safe zones are developed in which the individual is comfortable. These usually encompass the home, the work place, a friend or relative's house, and other areas where there are fewer threats.
