in my own case, ranking my panic attacks has come to feel like an exercise in futility. which of my panic attacks are the worse? the one i am currently dealing with. they are ALL nasty. where's that friggin' wish fairy who is supposed to save me from ever having another one?

for my own morning panic attacks, i, too, have noted that once i settle the morning attack, the rest of my day seems to go alright. more stimulating than coffee? i have also noticed that coffee doesn't go so well with the adrenaline rush of a morning panic attack.

breathing with you, claire. just breathe.
