Thanks LT.


I took some Xanax which I was trying not to do because I am at work and it will tend to make me sleepy but I was still feeling panicky. NP_Complete suggested the app Calm so I am looking into that. My internet isn't restricted at all at work, which is why I can spend hours on My Support Forums! I will try the cold water and standing up. Outside it is muggy today and since I have wear long sleeves due to my recent SH I think I will stay indoors. I don't have a fan but I have a heater. But I can go stand underneath the vent where the cooler comes out, that might be helpful.


The deep breathing helped a little and the Xanax is taking a bit of the edge off. I'm really trying to ward off these panic attacks because they are really uncomfortable and they remind me of being in the hospital. So double whammy. I have some fun music playing, the kind the gets stuck in your head on repeat but that's okay. And I'll try calling my Dad again in a little bit. He should be home he has a repair man coming sometime between 1 and 4 but he probably forgot to turn his phone on after physical therapy. Sometimes my Dad can calm me down. I'm also doing the self hug where you put the right hand on top of your left shoulder and put your left hand under your right armpit. It's not as good as a real hug but it is something.


Thanks for the additional thoughts LT. HUGS Kit
