A panic attack?

It's almost midnight, I'm so tired, trying to get to sleep. I can't feel myself breathing. This is a very weird feeling. It's like I have to make myself take deep gasping breaths so I know for sure I'm breathing. Not sure why but I try to find my pulse and I can't. My skin feels cold and clammy, just like Joe's did when I found him, and it's really freaking me out. I am having flashbacks to when I found Joe and I'm scared to close my eyes to try to fall asleep. I'm scared like I won't wake up. I don't know what to do. I feel like there is some pressure or something in my throat, not like I'm choking, it's hard to describe.

(Update from next day)

Just to update, I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and tried to lay back down last night. I left the lights on also. I pet one of my dogs and I guess something worked because next thing I was waking up this morning. I think I will mention this to my therapist, just in case. I am still extremely tired, so I'm going to try getting to sleep much earlier tonight.
