A buddy of mine passed away 8 years ago. I panicked I’m good I’m sorry for wasting your time. I think I’m good. Working on my breath.
No waste of time. That’s why the forum is here.
I don’t know for anyone else but you weren’t wasting my time (I’m pretty sure they feel the same way ) .
I’ll speak only for myself , but I’ve been there many times.

NOT a waste of time, my friend! Panic attacks are scary business. Glad to hear you are alright now
Panic attacks are super scary. I am sorry you experience them. My first few days of being sober this time I definitely felt them coming on more than I used to. But I knew that is what it was. And I knew to breathe, take a walk, distract myself. Always reach out if you need to! So many helpful people here! Glad this seems to have passed and you are feeling better.
Your life, and everything in it—including panic attacks, is valuable. You reaching out for help is never a waste.
Hey glad you got through it were all here you !
Glad you’re breathing and it’s passing. No time wasted, we’re here for you.
