ORIGINAL: masterforRT A panic attack is a condition caused by fight or flight. It's physiological. You can't 'stop' one even if you wanted to! Sure you can. You just need to find the right trigger. It's similar to self-hypnosis/meditation. Not everyone can do it, but it certainly is possible. Mind over matter, you know? That being said, I know that when I used to end up helpless while in the grip of a panic attack, I sometimes felt silly for a long time afterwards because I was unexpectedly thrown into a position of weakness against my wishes/will/what have you. Sudden loss of self-control isn't always a good thing, and this would throw me off-balance on an emotional level for quite some time. Since this was the first time for you, Sunnyfey, maybe that's why it's affecting you so intensely? Let yourself be upset, let yourself be down for a bit, and let your master guide you out of it. I am of the opinion that everything is a learning experience, even the negative aspects of our lives, and your reaction to this incident may just make you a bit better equipped to handle it if it happens again. It's fantastic that he loves you enough to want to be there for you through this. You're a blessed woman. : )
