Thank you for posting, guys and gals.
I'm having the same problem (as I'm sure many many are having also, possibly right at this moment), only I have not had any past with panic attacks.
I sway, I drift, a computer screen or something random pops into my sight and pops out again, and I snap into a very deep buzzing.
I sway about for a few minutes there, then try my best to pull off the ROPE technique. It's difficult to accomplish, but when I do, I immediately start buzzing, my heart beats louder, my hearing goes dull, and my vision seems to open up beneath my eyelids.
I say in my head GO! GO! GO! and imagine a person at the edge of my bed beckoning me to go with them. I become disoriented for a few seconds, then I come to. My heart beats more quiet, the vibrations cease, and I go back into trance.
It's a huge bummer. I may be trying to ROPE too early. Swaying up and down, left and right, works well though.
Any tips you guys can give me to help me get over the proverbial hump?
