Davit, I like that you said "Even reading posts on this site can increase a tendency to panic." What I feel about that very statement is that we have a tendency to relate to others, we have a tendency to draw lines where there are none. We fit in puzzle pieces for our gaps with others' information. I can read a post, and if I see even 1 symptom or feeling is the same as someone else's , I start to fill in my puzzle gaps with their information. And then I start to panic. Also, as we all know, there are others who have it worse than we do. And so when we read their stories, we tend to think right away, "I feel like this already, what if it gets so bad I end up "like them"?" What a terrible way to feel. And that starts the panic overload. I dont have the answers on how to stop that from happening. I just know it happens to me, and I have to breathe my way out of the tunnel.
