I figure it's been long enough between posts.

The attacks have been less severe. I don't believe I can really call them "attacks" anymore, just episodes of heightened anxiety or worry. No heavy breathing, no tingling in my hands. (Thank God...) I've been on the aforementioned drug in the last post for about a week and a half now. I've made an appointment to see a counselor about this (tomorrow after work).

I've been needing stuff to take my mind off of what got me panicked or the panicking since last week. Me in a silent apartment/master control room/bathroom hasn't helped. I've needed noise of some kind to try and keep my mind off of it. Game shows, Trading Spaces, MXC and movie comedies have been the soundtrack of the last few days. Things that haven't helped: reading about mental illness (meaning I won't be renting Girl, Interrupted, A Beautiful Mind anytime soon), and being by myself (I have a new appreciation for hanging around Suzanne and my folks). Anyone have any ideas to help me out further?
