i should talk things out more. writing is good, too, & i should do that more, as well. sleeping is great. i'd settle for even a little right now

surviving panic attacks seems almost ironically to get easier with passing time. the more that I live through them, the more I can say to myself don't panic you'll live through this. getting to a meditative state from a panic attack is quite a feat! you should be proud.
hooray! thank you! i am. & i think you're right. i just had my first one, like, maybe 4 years ago. (well, i guess that i identified as uh, yes. i think i might die, this is what a panic attack feels like, okay.) maybe it's that once i feel the initial signs of one, it's easier to identify right away & catch early - or completely remove myself from the situation that is setting it off.
do you find they are easier to control when you're around other people? when i have them & i'm alone (which is more rare, for certain) i find it harder to calm myself down. whereas if i'm in a crowded &/or public place it's almost like i calm myself down out of necessity or fear of someone called the paramedics -- which would probably really throw me into an out-of-control panic.
