Hey there, really sorry to hear you are going through that! I haven't had really bad panic attacks in over 20 years, but I remember how scary they were and how impossible it was to just "talk myself out of it" or for anyone else to. I used to think I was going to have a heart attack. I hope you can find a way to manage it and that the volcano doesn't turn out to be as big a deal as it could have been. It sounds like you are out of the biggest danger area, not that that makes any difference to how you feel. Look forward to reading your stories.

Hi @clemdane! Awww, someone who understands- that makes all of the difference in the world as I am sure you know π€ Thank you for reaching out to me!
I have been actively employing strategies to calm down but at the time of writing this, my mind was just racing with terror. The media is doing an excellent job at keeping the fear real.
I'm trying to just ignore it and accept that it's happening and will deal with what happens from it when it happens. I've done my best to prepare and now I will just try to remain calm and hope they've put the proper precautions in store to ensure no one is harmed!
Thank you for your loving message, I really appreciate it! ππ€
