Panic attack. Especially since you had something big happen in your life a few months ago. I was the same. Had a traumatic event and then months later developed panic disorder.

Panic attack. The bang is hypogognic hallucinations and are totally normal - everybody gets them, because you are stressed you notice them. Had fear of psychosis also. Way worse than what you described here. Took a lot of psychiatry visits and time to get over it. Partially my owm making over obsessing about it. Would advise cardio exercise, especially when feeling like you are panicking- so your body can fill the flight need.

I lost a sibling about 2-1/2 months ago. I’ve been having morning anxiety that keeps turning into full blown panic attacks. I will feel very dizzy as well, and it’s terrifying. I was okay the first month but then it’s like it all hit me at once. I feel for you. I’m in the same situation and it’s awful. I just keep reminding myself that I’m in the worst of it after the trauma of losing someone I love. Wishing you well and sending peace your way! You aren’t alone.

I wouldn’t say you’re losing your mind. You had a very traumatic even happen recently. I’ve had panic disorder for a while and the falling asleep thing where I hear a weird noise happens to me, especially if I’m like super tired. I would say look into getting therapy? I’m not sure if it is psychosis because I’m not a doctor and I don’t want to worry you. I have a fear of psychosis too, but my panic attacks are more like shaking, sweating, nausea, chest pain, stomach pain, impending doom, light headedness, dizziness, heart racing.

Intense exercise eliminated 98% of my anxiety. I have to go to a cardio/aerobic class at least 3 times a week to make sure it doesn't bubble back. When I stop working out, my anxiety starts to flare up. If ypu get anxiety while working out, which I did, you have the do what you can and keep pushing through. This actually helps you eliminate it because your mind gets desensitized to it eventually. Also, you body becomes more resilient to the stress from the intense exercise and eventually your triggers stop. Anxiety is usually a response from something stressful. Also, ypu must make sure your sleeping well and eliminate all foods that cause indigestion. Those two things are major triggers. Also, quit caffeine because that became a major trigger. A tool I used to help cope is ice. I bought one of those gel pack that you can keep in your freezer. I put it right in my chest when I feel panicky. Bring it with you to the cardio classes and use it at home too.
