Hi, I figure other cysters are bound to experience the panic and fear of immediate death. I don’t think it is a panic attack that I have with this, though I have panic attacks. It is definitely panic though. I start to feel some sort of ache or something in my body and my mind go nuts taking to the extreme. I feel at that moment while I am freaking out that I am going to die then, or that day. Sometimes it is just the worry, and sometimes it does go into a panic attack. I guess the reason for my post is I was curious how other cysters dealt with this. What things are you able to do to calm yourself down? Normally I try to count my breaths, talk to my husband if he is home or anything distracting from the panic.

Thanks for listening
