Hi, I recently have gotten into many fights with my parents, the thing is that it gets so intense I can't hold the tears any longer so I start to break down.
When this happens I slowly start to feel like I can't breath so I start to hyperventilate to compensate after I start doing that it makes it worse and makes me feel like I can't breathe at all so it all just starts going into a spiral of more hyperventilation it gets to the point where I need to hit my chest with my fist to calm down, after that my face my hands and my arms start feeling numb and tingly like when your feet fall asleep.
I talked to my school psychiatrist and she told me it was the feeling of not been understood and/or not having the chance to say something, how I was raised if you were in an argument with your mom/dad you don't respond and you sit and be quiet, which, according to the psychiatrist, makes me push all of the anger deeper until I can't keep it any longer and I break down.
I was wondering if any of you can confirm this or can tell me if there's any other reason for this to be happening and how to stop it
