Not to jump on the feels train, but yeah, I've got diagnosed anxiety and have had panic attacks before as well. Even in at least one instance while I was talking to someone on skype. So yeah, while different people's reactions might be different, I can confirm that they do not magically cause people to type like they were drunk and/or smashing their faces on the keyboard. More likely would be not being able to type at all. It happened when I was already ON the internet, and even though I wanted to, I still couldn't manage to let my friend know what was happening. Because I had to set my laptop down, lean back, close my eyes and calm the fuck down. And then maybe afterwards send them a "sorry, I was panicking." Typing out a bunch of carefully constructed misspellings and keyboard smashes is the last thing on your mind when you're hyperventilating and feel like you're having a heart attack.
