Is this anxiety?

[anonmouse_xxx]

I feel like I am suffocating on words. I have a hard time breathing if I don't talk and get the words out. It doesn't matter what I say I just need to keep talking, so I usually just sing or read out aloud because it feels a lot less crazy than spouting random words and sentences. It has only happened a couple times, but it really scares me. My mom and aunt both have severe anxiety, but I have never seen anything like that happen to them. So is this like my version of anxiety or is it something more serious and should I be worried?

This could be a form of anxiety, but it's one I'm not familiar with. Feeling like one is suffocating and having a hard time breathing are definitely symptoms of anxiety, but to the best of my knowledge, it's not because we feel a need to keep talking. I think the vast majority of us during a panic attack become very quiet. I know that talking for me during an attack is nearly impossible. My thinking is usually so scrambled and chaotic, I can't put a complete sentence together and THAT scares me.
Before you get yourself totally freaked out, go see your doctor. It could be a number of things and none of them are fatal or lead to insanity!
With a family history of anxiety, you are more prone to having it and just because it may be manifesting itself in a different way than "normal," doesn't mean anything. We all have jour own personal symptoms.
I think you're fine, but you need to hear that from your doctor.
Let us know what he says, OK?
