Panic is when you feel very, very scared and your body starts to feel like it's in danger even if there isn't anything dangerous around you. Sometimes your heart beats really fast, your breathing gets super quick, and your hands might even shake. Your brain thinks that something bad is going to happen and it's trying to get you ready to run away or protect yourself. But sometimes this feeling happens when there isn't really any danger around, which can make you feel even more scared and confused. It's really important to remember that panic is something that lots of people feel sometimes, and there are things you can do to help yourself feel better. You can take deep breaths, think calming thoughts, and talk to someone you trust about how you're feeling.
