I have panic attacks....not as bad as I used to but still have them at times....when I do...at times I can think myself out of "small" ones...but most of the time i have to leave the situation and get myself to a place that feels safe to me...which if im out..is my car. Then calm down and drive home. So for me, THAT only works very little. I can pop a klonipin and it calms me down enough to maybe continue shopping or whatever im doing after catching some air or something. Im not dependant on meds, but they DO work for me. But you cant "think" your way into everything. Its like, I hate peas. You say I can think myself into likeing them. So I Make myself eat them until I like them. No. Wouldnt happen....Id still gag and maybe puke while and after eating them no matter how much thinking about something else I do. Not being a smart as^ here just saying, that really doesnt make alot of sense to me. And like I said I dont even have every day all the time panic attacks like i used to. I dont see how that is going to work with anyone who deals with having several a day....its tirering.....Gawd my spelling is horrid, sorry about that.
