hello kelly. welcome to ds. ds is a big website with no chat rooms but there are quite allot of support forums to visit. this particular forum is, indeed, moving slow at the moment, but others are available to pick up the slack, if needed.

i breathe my way through panic attacks. after the initial panic attack has passed, i then call one of the members of my therapy support network to help me sort the causes and aftereffects.

In my experience with this same situation nothing worked for me except benzos and changing my ssri. I tried breathing i tried meditation i tried exercise. I just spiral into sweats, i feel like im going to throw up, i shake, i get light headed, i cant sit still. I do notice that when i clean it occupies my mind. But otherwise i always have to take a klonopin. It sucks.

I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
