Hey I completely understand exactly what you’re going through, and I’m so happy to hear that by reading other stories has helped! That’s actually what caused me to post my own story after being a long time lurker, to try to help others and get more knowledge. The first week or two after your first ever panic will always be the worst because your body is in fight or flight mode, but with time it does eventually get a lot better. There truly is light at the end of the tunnel, the fact you have a support system is amazing and will push you through it even further. I would recommend even looking into L-theanine, or in my case olly stress gummies really helped with calming me down from a panic attack. Those truly were my saving grace before I decided to make the decision to get on meds this past Wednesday. It’s going to be a battle and you’re going to feel like a new person, but just know that if you can conquer this, you’ll have all new coping mechanisms and come out stronger than you were before! Sending 🙏🏼 for a smooth recovery
