Help How do I force a panic attack?

[lixt]

Are there any techniques available to force a panic attack? For what I understood they are sudden and caused by an intense fear, making it hard to force. I'm not having them for some time and I want to feel them again. How do I do it?

I get close when I accidentaly roll weighted blanket over my chest, it brings some intense fear and derealization I had when I was a child (I don't even remember why but I remember the feelings very well).

interact with a person XD (im sadly not joking though)

panic attacks are personal experiences. everyone is going to have different triggers. you need to find something that scares you basically.

may i ask why? typically people try to avoid those.

I like the feelings I get (the thoughts, the symptoms, etc.). They are kinda comfortable in some way, like losing control in a "safe" way. When I tried to force a panic attacks, I usually try to create a fake scenario about my own death (Ex. Visualizing myself in a rooftop, watching the sun hiding behind some green mountains. Then I look down and hear the world. I take a step forward and fall, imagining the cold wind hitting my face. After that, I fade out as I hit the ground and wake up in a hospital bed, seeing my parent next to the bedside saying everything's gonna be alright. I then shutdown while hearing my mother screaming). Unfortunately, I have no more fake scenarios I can think of, so I stopped having panic attacks. I just want to feel one again.

i can understand that.
having anxiety/ptsd is typically a good cause for panic attacks.
i just hope you keep yourself safe doing it

for me
i start breathing very fast and heavy and think about upsetting things that make me cry

that does the trick but its a personal thing, might not work for you

Heyy,
the trigger of panic attacs are really individual for each person. I personnaly get pankc attacs if I hear an unexpected loud noise. But I knew some people who got an attack by just seeing knives etc.

If you 'like' the feeling, you won't have a panic attack because that's not how it works. There is no way to force it if you're not scared of even having one.

I have panic disorder, and I constantly get them because I'm afraid of them. I'm scared for the next panic attack to happen, which results in them occurring. Resisting the panic feelings makes it persist into a full-blown panic attack.

I'm not sure about the triggers, but I know that you can't force them to happen. The whole point of an attack is to save you from danger, which in my case, it thinks that the panic attack itself is the danger, so I have them repeatedly because I keep thinking about them. That's called a mental disorder.

Drink a few energy drinks back to back and you'll probably get something close.
