“Yaar, mujhe lagta hai kuch ho jaayega… saans nahi aa rahi… dil tez dhadak raha hai… kya yeh anxiety hai ya panic attack?”
Kabhi aapne yeh socha hai?https://khuljamind.com/anxiety-kaise-feel-hoti-hai-physical-aur-emotional-signs/
Main bhi wahi sochta tha. Office ki job, deadlines ka pressure, ghar ke expectations, social media ka dikhawa – sab kuch ek saath dum ghonti si feeling deta tha. Bahar se sab perfect lagta tha, lekin andar kuch aur hi chal raha tha.
Aaj main tumse dil se baat karna chahta hoon. Ek aise topic pe jise log confuse kar dete hain – anxiety attack aur panic attack ka farak. Shayad tumne bhi mehsoos kiya ho, par kabhi kisi se share na kiya ho. Toh chalo, baat karte hain – bina gyaan diye, bas waise hi jaise ek dost doosre dost se karta hai.
Jab Sab Kuch “Normal” Dikhta Hai, Par Andar Se Tufaan Chal Raha Hota Hai
Main ek IT company mein kaam karta hoon. 9 to 6 ki job, par asli kaam 8 baje raat tak chalta tha. Har Monday anxiety lagti thi. Meetings, deadlines, boss ka pressure… kuch samajh nahi aata tha. Kabhi-kabhi toh lagta tha ki bas… sab kuch chhod doon.
Ek baar, presentation ke ek din pehle, raat ke 2 baje mujhe laga kuch ho gaya hai. Saans atak rahi thi, haath kaanp rahe the, dil dhadak raha tha jaise race mein hoon… laga ki mar jaunga. Hospital gaya. ECG normal. Doctor bola: “It’s just anxiety.”
Just anxiety? Mere liye toh wo maut jaisa experience tha.
Tabhi mujhe samajh aaya – log “anxiety” aur “panic” ko ek hi cheez samajhte hain, par yeh dono alag hote hain.
Toh Akhir Farak Kya Hai Anxiety Attack Aur Panic Attack Mein?https://www.healthline.com/health/panic-attack-vs-anxiety-attack
Chalo, simple bhaasha mein samajhte hain:
1. Anxiety Attack – Dheere Dheere Badhne Wali Aag
- Anxiety attack generally kisi stress ya soch ke response mein aata hai.
- Symptoms dheere-dheere build hote hain.
- Lagta hai kuch galat ho raha hai ya hone wala hai.
- Control hota hai thoda sa, par exhausting hota hai.
Symptoms:
- Constant overthinking
- Restlessness
- Thoda thoda saans lena mushkil
- Neck aur shoulders mein tightness
- Neend nahi aana
- Irritationhttps://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/anxiety-attack-symptoms
Example from my life:
Office mein ek baar meri team lead ne bola, “Kal tak kaam chahiye.” Tab se leke next 24 hours tak main bas sochta raha. Khud se lada. Khaana nahi khaya. Neend nahi aayi. Har waqt “kya agar fail ho gaya toh?” yehi sochta raha.
2. Panic Attack – Ekdum Se Tufaan Jaisa Experiencehttps://khuljamind.com/panic-attack-kya-hota-hai-symptoms-aur-treatment-ek-real-kahani/
- Panic attack bina kisi warning ke aata hai.
- Sudden hota hai. 10-15 minute mein peak par pahuchta hai.
- Physical symptoms itne intense hote hain ki lagta hai heart attack ho gaya.
Symptoms:
- Chest pain
- Ghabrahat
- Saans nahi lena
- Heartbeat bahut tez
- Pasina
- Dizzy feel karna
- Death ka darr
Example from my life:
Ek baar local train mein tha. Crowd zyada tha. Mujhe ekdum se laga main bandh ho gaya hoon. Saans nahi aa rahi thi, aankhon ke saamne andhera sa. Mujhe laga bas, yahaan khatam ho jaunga. Par woh panic attack tha. Pehli baar samjha ki iska physical impact kitna real hota hai.
Dono Mein Kya Major Differences Hain? (Short Summary Table)
| Aspect | Anxiety Attack | Panic Attack |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger | Specific stress ya fear | Kahi baar bina kisi trigger ke |
| Onset | Gradual (dheere-dheere) | Sudden, achanak |
| Duration | Lambe samay tak reh sakta hai | Short duration (10-20 minutes) |
| Physical Symptoms | Mild to moderate | Bahut intense aur scary |
| Emotional Impact | Worry, fear | Extreme fear, like you’re dying |
Yeh Sab Hona “Normal” Hai – Haan, Par Ignore Karna Nahi
Main yeh nahi keh raha ki yeh sab hona accha hai. Par yeh zaroor keh raha hoon ki aap akela nahi ho. Har dusra insaan kisi na kisi form mein anxiety ya panic feel karta hai – par sab chup rehte hain.
Kyun?
Kyunki society kehti hai: “Tu weak hai.”
Kyunki log bolte hain: “Yeh sab dimaag ka khel hai.”
Par jo feel karta hai, uske liye yeh sirf soch nahi, ek real pain hota hai.
Toh Kya Karna Chahiye Jab Yeh Ho?
Mujhe bhi waqt laga samajhne mein. Par kuch cheezein jo kaam aayi:
Anxiety Attack ke liye:https://khuljamind.com/panic-attack-kya-hota-hai-symptoms-aur-treatment-ek-real-kahani/
- Deep breathing exercises (4-7-8 method)
- Apne thoughts ko likhna
- Kisi close dost se baat karna
- Meditation
- Caffeine avoid karna
Panic Attack ke waqt:
- Grounding technique (5 things you can see, 4 you can touch…)
- Cold water splash on face
- Deep, slow breaths lena
- “Yeh attack hai, main safe hoon” yeh yaad dilana
- Ek safe jagah pe baith jaana
Most important:
Therapy lene mein koi sharam nahi hai.
Main bhi gaya therapist ke paas – pehle awkward laga, par baad mein sabse bada relief wahi bana.
Aakhri Baat – Aap Thik Ho Jaoge
Main yeh blog likh raha hoon kyunki mujhe pata hai ki kahin na kahin koi banda ya ladki abhi issi phase se guzar raha hoga. Shayad aaj raat tumhe neend na aaye, ya kaam ke thought se darr lagta ho… but trust me, you’re not alone.
Anxiety aur panic attack humare emotions ka extreme form hain. Yeh sirf weakness nahi, balki ek signal hai – ki hume ruk kar, apna dhyan rakhna hai.
Apne dosto se baat karo. Apne mann ki suno. Aur agar zarurat ho, toh help lena seekho.
Kyunki akhir mein… jaan hai toh jahaan hai.
Agar tumne yeh sab experience kiya hai, toh mujhe comment mein likh ke batao. Shayad kisi aur ko bhi tumhari story sun kar himmat mile. @khuljamindhttps://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/panic-attacks/symptoms-causes/syc-20376021
