I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep and I was thinking about all the things I had to do the next day and I was really worried about an exam I had to take because I didn't think I was nearly prepared enough. I felt an urge to cry, which is not very common for me, and I started to and it just got more and more out of control. I started breathing heavily and then everything started to scare me. I live in a college dorm so people walking down the hallway, people closing doors, a car driving by, people talking, all these things just scared me. It was probably 5 or 10 minutes later that I finally realized I had to get myself under control. It was hard, but I got my breathing back under control and I stopped crying. Things still scared me for a little while but it eventually stopped and I was so exuasted I fell asleep. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. Was it an anxiety attack and if so what should I do about it?
