Thank you for sharing this @zen-art, so many of us have suffered or are still suffering panic attacks, I think it's the fast pace of modern life. I dreaded that fear of being afraid! I went through a bad depression years ago and like you say, it lurks and haunts you from time to time, but like you I used all those techniques but what really helped the most with my healing, was meditation, Iearned transcendental meditation technique, that was my turning point! Thank you and stay well :)
