Its scary to think that I just used to share this years ago just to help those who may be dealing with anxiety. Anxiety does not exclude someone, anyone may experience it and that I will be in this situation now. Why does it always have to be 3AM when the world’s in hibernation mode— asleep and quiet. Was it because of the bad dream? What about the days when I slept soundly and suddenly I couldn’t breathe and it woke me.
It is Helpless.
Ps. The thought of a slight stressful scenario is unbearable. I cant help but shed a tear.
“This too shall pass, please let this be a part of a seasons of life.”

when next time panic attack come to you or me we will remember this coping technique tell each other to follow
or we can talk to each other because you are the fix for everything in my life and you are fix for my panic attack
And when you get a panic attack, it makes you forget yourself let alone grounding
I understand. Maybe holding onto something familiar or saying something comforting could help. I'm here for you

Done it a zillion times to still end up being in a loop of emotions
So it will not come by practice
