Tony, I live in Atlanta, but born in raised in NYC. [STILL AN AVID YANKEES FAN!!! by the way]When my panic starts creeping in I actually try to do different things to take my mind off of the panic; so actually I step out of whatever routine I'm in. For example this morning I had moderate anxiety. Rather than just lie and bed and try deep breathing, music, or self-talk, I got on this site to update my panic log and to read other entries. I don't know if that's strange, but, it works. I am relatively new to this site, but, since joining I have found that the more I talk and write about my attacks the better I feel. My attacks have actually decreased in severity and frequency since joining this site. I think just reading and responding to entries on this site reinforces in my mind that there isn't anything wrong.
By the way I have walked as far as from WTC to 42nd st. and I loved it. I really miss that living in Atlanta. It may sound crazy but walks like that are relaxing...as long as it's not late at night...LOL.
