Panic

For those who have never experienced a panic attack, it might be helpful to know that even when you are at the point where you feel that literally ripping and tearing your throat open with your bare hands might be helpful against the feeling that you can’t possibly get enough air, this feeling will pass.

Eventually.

The average panic attack only lasts 5-30 minutes.

30 minutes is a DAMN long time to feel like a self-performed tracheotomy might be a good thing. mk

DISCLAIMER:

Everything here is just my opinion. I am not an expert in anything except being me. I link where I can, but I make no promises that links will work forever and still go to the place I originally planned.

Topics I discuss are of interest to me, but do not necessarily mean anyone in my life is directly affected by it, so please don't jump to conclusions.

Something that works for me or someone I know wouldn't necessarily work for you. If you don't like what I say, don't flame me. If you like it, or if something might help, take what you can, ignore the rest. Oh, and please don't steal my stuff. mk

P.S. I love discussion and questions, and will respect your opinion, as long as it is not derogatory or disrespectful. I reserve the right to delete any comments that piss me off, which include (but are not limited to) bots & trolls.
