Hi, Candy.

I had a panic attack last week and it didn't throw me out the window just because at the very moment I had someone very close to my heart online with me and he helped me big time.

Nonetheless, I'm pretty aware fo how my chemicals work and when I was finally able to go get some water - water is so great and I mean it!:-) - I also grabbed a piece low-dosage benzo as that's the only thing that actually makes it go away for me.

Fortunately, though, I hadn't had an attack in about a year, which is great. Unfortunately, though, my T is trying to get me off benzos and I had to use my daily allowance in the middle of the afternoon which wasn't very cool.

All the yadda-yadda-yadda to ay that, well, I don't really know about avoiding panick attacks in general because they usually come unannounced. Since you know what triggers - the building where you work - maybe you can try some self-brainwashing, like "I am stronger than my fear" or something like that?

Hope you can get past it real soon. :-)
