I never thought about the panic attack thing, but it makes a lot of sense and kind of reinforces what I always thought this song was about -- I always thought that it was about being out and about in a public place and everything that she sees reminding her of an ex-lover. Probably someone she parted with on not-so-good terms, but they were still involved in eachothers' lives due to other circumstances (perhaps an ex-husband who fathered a child maybe?) and it was driving her insane because she wanted to forget him, but everywhere she looks is another piece that reminds her. shrug Just my two cents.
