Panic attacks are wonderful things. Well not really but they happen.

That feeling of impending doom, you are about to die, heart racing about a millions miles a minute and breath that you just cant seem to catch as this is happening the world seems to get a lot brighter and you just can’t get your balance because your body seems to have forgotten which way is up.

Has this happened to you? if not thank your lucky stars. It is a very unsettling feeling. For me the famous words from Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy pop into my head “Don’t Panic” stop what you are doing, breath, ground your self and for goodness sake if you are driving or operating power tools STOP!!

I do not get panic attacks often but lately they seem to be more frequent. To me they stem from a fight or flight response. Something you have encountered or are about to encounter has triggered an auto-response in your brain that is telling you you need to stop what you are doing and RUN, turn around go the opposite direction, or I will shut your ass down.
