I invested in some essential oil and would put either lave6or cedarwood on a cotton ball and try and look at something calming, put on calming music, I usually didn't do the taste bc I was so full of panic I didn't do the taste part of using my 5 senses. I would use a feather from my cats toy and rub it , just feel it in my fingers. Those are just some techniques I used. I'm sorry you're going through that. ☺️

Thank you! Those are good ideas! Aromatherapy helps me a lot. I was able to get through the panic/dissociation last night by going to sleep. Sometimes it requires going to sleep to kind of reset my brain if that makes sense, then I wake up feeling better
