I feel like I'm going crazy... Anxiety?

I've had anxiety for awhile and posted on here a lot but tonight I'm having a different sensation. I feel like I'm going crazy!! My thoughts are racing and I feel light headed. My body is tense and I feel like I could just burst into tears or pass out at any second. My head just feels weird and I feel like I am going crazy. I dont know how to explain it really. Is this just an anxiety attack? Will I be okay? Please help!! Tell me I am not alone!!

  It's only an attack if you can make it settle down on your own. However if you don't yet know how to go about this then depending on the severity of your disorder these can get much more frequent to a point where you can't remember what it's like to live without it.
  I have been suffering with an Anxiety disorder since the age of 8, I'm now 38. I wish I could give you more precise advice but I would need to know more about it than just the one attack. Also I want to say that I believe severe dibilitating anxiety is a direct cause of childhood abuse.
  And you KNOW what I f-ing hate my mother for creating such a wicked unforgiving disease in her little girl.

Sounds like an anxiety attack.  Put your feet up, relax, or go do some exercise or deep breathing or anything that takes your mind off yourself.  It will pass.
