I’ve struggled with panic disorder for 6 years now. Medication has unfortunately never been an option and still isn’t an option for me. I’ve finally gotten into therapy, but am only able to go every 4 weeks due to my therapist being booked up. How do you cope with panic disorder? I thought I would’ve been able to have more help and resources with where I’m at now, but unfortunately that’s now how it has turned out to be. I don’t consume caffeine, alcohol, or drugs and get out every day. I’m just curious to see what you guys think. :)

      Have you tried a different therapist? My last therapist could only see me every other week, my current therapist sees me weekly and I've noticed a big difference

      What is the main cause of your panic? For me, it is almost exclusively my son (him getting hurt, kidnapped, etc.) I find that spending more time with him greatly eases that panic. And when he goes to bed I have a baby monitor, triple check the locks on all the doors and windows, and make sure all the blinds are closed. My husband is a truck driver so when he is gone I'm basically a single mom which makes my son a valuable target for kidnaps. It is very important for me to always make sure he is okay

      coping mechanisms and grounding exercises can help when you feel an attack coming on. 5 senses exercise and 10 count breathing are my go tos:)
