You can say that again. Panic attacks can be completely debilitating if gone unaddressed. I'm glad you're able to keep yours under control with the breathing exercises. Any idea what triggers them in your case? I'm not quite ready to share the details of that publicly just yet but all I can say is it was wild, beyond comprehension really. One day, when I'm ready, I may write a book about it.

I can respect that. I look forward to reading it some day. I think the first time I had one I was staying in a hotel somewhere so it might have just been waking up in a strange place. I only get them at night and usually they are triggered by a bad dream or in a couple cases bad weather while we were in our camper. A tree fell and narrowly missed hitting the trailer. It just amazes me how it drains all the energy from you. Like I am worthless for a good hour or two after one just to recover.
It can totally drain you. The boost is cortisol alone can just completely wipe you out. Storms can be pretty bad in that region. The Twin Cities area here in Minnesota is usually a little more tame. I remember some really hellacious thunderstorms in Ohio in the mid-1970's.
