A panic attack. Usually of the variety where I can't breathe, I'm crying uncontrollably, and everything is wrong in my life.

Actually, the running around like Curly thing is more like what you feel you body's doing, without you doing it. Heightened adrenaline, shortness of breath... It's a fear reaction with little, if any, discernible trigger. You just want to crawl out of your skin.
I had several when I was in my teens. I guess I got lucky and "grew out" of it. My daughter suffers from them ever since she was attacked, and is on medication for it.
Barmymoo:
I don't usually refer to it as freaking out, but over the summer I had a fairly awful night each month where I would just feel a sense of blind panic, and pace around feeling really, really horrible and not quite being able to believe that the feeling would go away, and therefore wanting to die. Since it's stopped happening now that I've switched back to my old brand of Pill I'm fairly sure it was predominantly hormonal, for which I am incredibly grateful because I couldn't have coped with that every month.
nekowafer:
Yeah I'm not sure where I picked up the term but I use it a lot. And that blind panic is something I experience often. It's incredibly frustrating.

To jwhouk's question, I was imagining what a visual answer might be, perhaps even with a reference to someone in the comic. When you're freaking out, do you sit down, pace, go to bed and pull the covers over your head or all of the above? Hope the question's not intrusive.
