3. Oh, I know how that is.
I know this probably won't help, but try to stay calm and breathe. And here's a :hug: from me.

6. Well, whatever you do
don't panic over the panic attack. :silly:

I don't know if humor helps, but that was my attempt. Please know that I do take panic attacks seriously and that I'm sure what you're going through just plain sucks.

:hug:

11. Get up and walk outside, honey.
Also, touching a cool, hard surface, like a wall, helps to stabilize you.

:hug:

16. I understand
Even with treatment, I still have panic attacks and they totally suck:(.

Just try to think of something calming and nice, catch your breath, and please accept this :hug:.
