Yeah, I used to suffer from regular panic attacks a few years ago, and my doc said cut out the caffeine, it does work.
I've had some anxiety in the last few days which I thought was going to turn into panic attacks but because I know what it is, I can talk myself down these days -and as some have said, correct breathing is very effective.
Yoga is effective for anxiety, I find, probably because of the breathing.
You don't seem overly emotional to me, hun, just someone trying to stay sober.
You're never alone, Briar, I expect a lot of us have very similar experiences ((()))
