dear Brennan,, do try to remember that anxiety and panic are a malfunction of the brain. it is not explained away by pointing at a thing or event and trying to assign blame,,, "That made me feel ,,, ",, no,, it's good advice to see a doc, get a med, if that works for you, it's so simple,, on the other hand, learning biofeedback is an actual cure, or as close as one can get to it. so do both, is my suggestion. best wishes,, Gus
