"Your voice gives me a panic attack" ... oh man.. that has to go down as an all-time classic.

Laughing and Crying are something like 'mirror' physiological responses.
In a similar (but not exact) way, anger and panic share a lot of the same 'routes' and physiological responses and 'symptoms'.
Freddy was what we just simply call 'becoming enraged'. He was becoming very very angry.
I guess you can say that this has a lot in common with what we call a 'panic attack'.
Its something like the 'Fight' without the 'Flight'.

Aggressiveness, rage, anger, fury, and Bea makes it worse when she says things like:
"you just can't admit it because you want to believe you don't cause trouble".
This is just a thing of malevolent beauty because this IS what Freddy does and then responds in anger..... OH OH... which he now has to pretend is something else because, its true, he can't allow himself to be someone who gets very angry.

Its called being ENRAGED.
Its called Anger.
It was good ole garden variety and well fueled ANGER.
Notice we don't call it an 'Anger Attack'.
Its not an 'attack'.
It IS HIM RESPONDING TO THE THOUGHTS HE IS HAVING.
This is not 'something attacking him' but he would like to believe that because then he can be excused and have no blame for it,
but,
You bet it was this simple:
He could not express himself successfully.
He really really wanted to and was thinking of a need to express himself.
Mouth isn't working,
Body fires up ANGER in case he needs to 'physically express it'.
or,
at least show her he had the potential to do so.

Anger.
Its called 'being very angry'.
