Yep… once one actually starts for me, I find I just have to ride it out. It sucks thinking you may just really lose your mind and never feel normal again. When I was younger it would feel like I was dying, with age I find I just fear I’m really going insane and will never feel right again. It’s all encompassing sense of doom and urgency. It sucks.

I try to do things like run my hands under very cold water or go outside (even just on my deck) for quiet and grounding. For me distractions do nothing, so I need to really ground myself in reality. Sometimes I pace too…

I haven’t had one in a while 👀 *knocks on wood*
