The feeling of flight seems stronger than fight (fight/flight mode) in the throes. Suicide ideation is another matter. Panic disorder often provokes a suicidal response, since the psychological pain of imagined or feared humiliation, on a daily basis, can be excruciating and utterly isolating. But I don't sense that you, Andyrene Imago, are in that situation.
