I'm looking for help from other forum users. Can you cry during a panic attack? I've been feeling very anxious and overwhelmed lately, and I'm wondering if I'm at risk of having a panic attack. If I do, will I be able to control my emotions and not cry? What are some signs that I should look out for to know if I'm having a panic attack? Has anyone else had a similar experience? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
