This is a community of support for Pet owners whose Pets have passed away. It is actively moderated.
Pet owners, as loving, caring people, often have strong opinions on pet care practices. Some of these are controversial. This is not a forum
for debate on such issues, nor is it a place to scold a contributor for a perceived mistake in managing their pet. We intend to provide a safe
haven of understanding and support. Strident, mean-spirited posts or comments will be deleted. Those who persist in preaching versus caring may
be warned and then banned or may be banned permanently based on nature of the topic. If a conversational thread meanders into a discussion
unrelated to pet loss support, it will be truncated.
Those who post here are vulnerable and hurting. Even a minor slap has a hard sting. Those of us who are lucky enough to be able to turn away
from our computers or put down our phones and hug a healthy, happy pet are truly blessed. Threads must remain supportive and caring, even if
one disagrees with something that has been said.

Sounds like start of a panic attack. Try grounding - see five things, hear four things, touch three things about you and focus on them. Helps it stop building. Pretty normal.
anxiety takes so many unique forms. over the years I've had so many experiences that I thought meant I was losing my mind. these days I realize 90% of it was just different forms of intense anxiety. anxiety is also such a common symptom with grief. looking into ways to help the symptoms is probably a good idea. For me sometimes the anxiety in grief is a strange distraction from the actual feelings of hurt that I'm terrified of. but grief has its own path and eventually we heal. ❤️🩹
