If I couldn't have removed myself physically to meditate and calm down, I would have had to leave altogether and the day would have been ruined. I let those panic modes consume me with guilt and shame. I have xanax to take but I feel like that is "giving in". Clearly if I was able to get out of the panic attack last Saturday, I should be able to eventually do it anywhere. At the moment, it does seem beyond my abilities. I have a particularly hard time dealing with it at work, where I have cried too many times to mention. My p-doc thinks that working is the best thing I can do for myself, but it can be so difficult. Especially when you're in the "good days and bad days" place - I don't know which I am having until a panic attack up and wallops me out of the blue.
