how a panic attack can take you over completely and yet, when you've been okay for a while, you can't quite remember just how it awful it is until you get another one? This is how it's been for me this evening and, as it lessens a little, I'm amazed that I hadn't remembered fully how overwhelming and intense it is. All my best laid plans for coping with panic just disappeared completely!
It reminds me a little of how most women swear they'll never have another child after the pain of giving birth, and yet a lot of us do because we forget. And that makes me wonder if panic attacks, however terrible they might be and how little control we seem to have over them, have an underlying positive intention, but we can't quite see it?
Or maybe I'm just blindly rambling after this evening's horror!
