I'm sitting here quietly panicking again. I keep getting struck, suddenly and at random, with waves of intense fear. Everything is too much for me right now. Is there anything I can do to deal with panic attacks? Maybe I should start a drip of chamomile tea.

This is making it very hard, for the record, to get things done.

OTOH, means I've got Marwood's mental voice down, should I find the time to write.

Poor darling. I know exactly what you're talking about. I go through it myself so much. I wish I could make it easier, but I don't know how. It's no use ignoring the panic. Take the time to get ahold of yourself. Breathe -- try thinking about nothing but breathing deeply and slowly. Sip your tea. Take a nap if you feel like it. Remember to just take one thing at a time and to take time to feel good about it when it's finished. And remember that the world is not going to end if you don't get something done today. Try to keep things in proportion. No matter what you do, you'll still have friends here who care about you. **hugs**

Chamomile tea is probably not a bad idea, unless you're like me and will pass out halfway through. This may explain why I was never into drugs. :P

Take it one thing at a time, and listen to something soft and melodic and soothing on headphones, if possible, while you work. Music is the next best thing to mainlining zen/caffeine/sleeping pills/whatever you need, IMO. I can send some, if you need it?

Panics suck. I had a few months late last year when that kept happening to me, but it seems to have abated. Counsellors do seem to help, thouh. Cos anxiety does not, contrary to brain-logic, appear out of nowhere - issues are behind it, and talking about them is useful.

Concentrate on your breathing. It distracts you from the panic.
