Just need to talk

Woke up in the middle of a panic attack earlier. Everyone else in the house is asleep. Just speaking out into the Similar Worldiverse to feel a little less alone. I know this isn’t a therapy site. It’s just nice to feel like someone’s around.

I think many of us have been there.
@CrazyMusicLover it just helps not to feel alone. Reaching out to strangers is not exactly ideal but it’s the only option I have at the moment.
@IttyOldBitty Many times strangers give the best advice because they aren't biased like those you know personally.
@NativePortlander1970 very true. And I’m definitely willing to listen to some kind, sound advice.
@IttyOldBitty I know panic attacks are not fun to deal with, I have to take a benzodiazepam to deal with mine, listening to soft music in a dark room with incense no longer works for me and hasn't for years.
@NativePortlander1970 I have an appointment with my doctor to discuss my issues this week. This is all new to me. I mean I’ve always had anxiety but could work through it on my own. But it hit me like a ton of bricks a few months ago and I can no longer do this all by myself. At least I can admit it.
@IttyOldBitty The first step in healig is always confession and admittance that we need help.
@NativePortlander1970 and I’m going to do all I can to get that help. I want to be present in my life and feel like myself again. Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s wonderful to meet someone who has such caring, soothing things to say even to a stranger.
@IttyOldBitty You're so very welcome, I am so very glad I was awake to be able to help you find some peace again this morning :)
@NativePortlander1970 you really have and I greatly appreciate it.
@IttyOldBitty (((((HUGS)))))
