Rant.
I've been panicking most nights again and every time I come onto this app to the chat groups the people aren't ever talking about what the group is about.
I'm panicking and go to the support chat and it's just a bunch of pals having fun
Which is great except I need the support chat for support. I dont know where else to go.
I feel selfish for feeling this way and I'm sorry. I just feel like I'm exploding a little bit and I feel out of control and telling someone sometimes helps and I wish I could find a chat that I could post in without interrupting a conversation.
Panic attacks are horrible and I'm miserable and even 16+ years into this disorder and its still terrifying to panic and that just seems like *** yknow? What happened to exposure therapy the more you do it the easier it'll be
Cause that is not how anything has been for me.

There are a number of support groups here. However, if you don't feel like they are a right fit for you, you could just opt for a listener. It that also doesn't satisfy you, I'm always here if you want to talk.
Warning: I'm not a counselor, therapist or a psychologist, but I can be a really good support system. I've been managing anxiety for years, so I know I can relate to whatever is going on with you. Hope this helps, cheers!!
@KindPear
I have to agree with you about the support chat. It's more of just chatting about whatever and less about getting some group support.
Panic attacks suck. I've been having more recently. Recent life events have taken their toll on me and I'm really getting sick of freaking out in the middle of the grocery store.
I do try to understand others and hopefully I can. I know I get to the point where I could just scream with panic. I have agoraphobia which is a nightmare. I agree having panic daily does not make for a relaxing way of thinking. You are not alone
