Re: Rant thread.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree that this person could probably use therapy (if it's available to them), but telling someone who gets panic attacks that they "need to get a grip" is spectacularly unhelpful. Also, guess what: some people get help and still get panic attacks sometimes. It's a tough thing to eliminate entirely.

I get panic attacks, and one of the biggest things that has helped me has been to recognize which situations tend to lead to them, so I can either avoid or mentally prepare for those situations when possible. (The other big things are focusing on lowering my overall stress level, and knowing how to care for myself when I do have a panic attack to minimize its impact.) And this person at least is recognizing a situation that causes them panic attacks and is trying to figure out what to do about it.

Anyway, to the OP... you might have to distance yourself from her a little, or try to talk mostly about non-serious things with her. But if there are things you can do beforehand to get yourself into a calmer state of mind, or ways you can help calm yourself down after talking to her, that might help too. (Me, when I know I have to do something that might cause me to have a panic attack, I try to lower the amount of other stressful things I have to do that day if possible, and I try to schedule myself free time afterwards to listen to music or whatever to calm myself down.)
