I started having panic attacks in October of last year. I would suddenly feel that I was about to have a heart attack or stop breathing. For some reason, I thought that as long as I kept moving I wouldn't die. After going through these attacks for three or four consecutive days, I had the courage to tell myself that I wasn't about to die and to stand still and 'face my fears.' When I did this, i had what can only be described as a 'mystical experience.' I felt overwhelmed by peace which I felt as a physical presence. It wasn't good or bad though, it was like being where good and bad come from. I also had the sense of being inside of a paradox. Has anyone else had experiences of this kind following panic attacks?
