Anyone else get panic attacks over nothing?

I had a full blown panic attack yesterday because my boss didn't say good morning to me. Like I KNOW it's irrational but my brain just went into overdrive thinking I was getting fired. Heart pounding, sweating, the whole thing. Took me 20 minutes to calm down. Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you guys manage it without losing your mind?

Man, I get that. Your brain doesn't care if it's rational or not, it just fires up. Have you tried anything that helps when it starts? Even just talking it through helps me sometimes.

The new dad brain is already in overdrive for me with the baby, so I feel this differently but yeah, the anxiety hits out of nowhere. You're not alone in it.

Your boss probably just had their head in work mode, nothing to do with you. But I know that doesn't stop the panic when it hits. Glad you can at least recognize it's your brain doing its thing.
