Gonna try to keep my breathing even here and see how much that helps, because it's already started this time.

@Soreth ach, hon. I can give some suggestions on how I've dealt with severe anxiety, but I haven't had many panic attacks and they were a while ago, and if you don't want/need advice I won't force it on you, but send you much kind, soothing thoughts and empathy. *hugs*

@green Nothing much seems to help except for concentrating on my breathing and trying to keep mindfulness going. If you have other tips, I would be happy to hear them.

@Soreth other than reliable immersive distraction (which is very variable, there's some stuff that works really well for me, but sometimes not) or being able to talk with a supportive/helpful person, it sounds like you've got what I've got. *many hugs*
