Read the new ER update. Son of a *quack* indeed.

On a related note, does anyone know a good way to lessen/get rid of a panic attack? Could be useful right now.

Focus on breathing. Basically, start meditating. If you're talking to her on the phone, you can help her count her breath. Have her breathe in slowly, hold her breath for a moment (CRUCIAL SO YOU DON'T HYPERVENTILATE), release slowly. Breathe in from the stomach first, and then the ribcage.

Citation: I've been having panic attacks for at least the past five years.

1. What Vector said.
2. Not focusing on the cause of the panic attack-focus on it when you're ready to deal with it. [Which is the basic premise of any coping method on panic attacks, in which the things said above are the methods on how to]

When I'm on the way to fainting (I'm hemophobe, so it happens often), I try to get higher blood pressure by raising my feet over my head (while lying) and I try to dispel the fear by singing. The Lord of the rings theme is good, because it's mildly complicated so I have to concentrate.
You don't care about higher blood pressure, but singing may help.

Cold fingers make me make so many typos.

Man, I am seriously pooped. Today was a gruelling experience.
At least I'm too tired to feel overly sad about stuff right now, and am instead alternating between sluggishness and giddiness.

Well, the Sewol ferry capsizing is now pretty much over. No miracles happened today, and the body count is rising rapidly :/ Watching the news is depressing, with the ticker preiodically showing up when more bodies are recovered.

My mom is mentally sick and she's probably never going to get better.

That's tough.
My mother is as well, although she's gotten treatment some time ago and has gotten better.
Even turned in a supportive figure recently. I would have probably dopped out of university and just went to work if not for her.

A very grueling poop. It took the better part of a day to finish!

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Woke up. Vehicle gone.

Well, that's it for working today. I'd just really like to know who steals an old 84 truck with a knock.

[Arx]

Woke up. Vehicle gone.

Ouch. Good luck.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Pretty mad about it too, but I'm basically ruined now so I'm more sad.

A little bit late to this one, but I find that just listening to someone talking helps me a lot with mine. I've listened to a lot of LP's for a while, but recently I've gotten into listening to ASMR videos with my headset on when I need help with panic attacks.

Talking about something unrelated might be a good way to help.
