I don't mean to cause any panic or alarm...

[netgirl_y2k]

This isn't a real update, but I do have a question. I think it might be some sort of delayed grief thing or something, but over the last few months I've started having these horrible panic attacks. They start with this sense of rising panic clawing its way up my throat, and tend to end with me lying on the bathroom floor at 5am convinced I'm having a stroke.

And I remembered that some of you have dealt with anxiety stuff before, and I wondered if anyone had any tips for heading off a panic attack when you can feel one coming on? Ideally before the 5am, bathroom floor, epic hypochondria bit?
