[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 664232, member: 18516"] I never had panic attacks but I did have episodes of my mind racing wondering if he was dead, alive, did he hurt someone, all kinds of scary thoughts. It's very normal to have those kind of thoughts when you are at the beginning of detaching. I found that when I was being consumed by those thoughts that slow deep breathing helped me to center myself. I would remind myself that I had no control over my son and his choices. Yes, all the horrible thoughts that we can think of could most definitely happen but our worrying about it won't stop it. When you start to feel that way, remember slow deep breathing. I've said it before, there is no roller coaster on this planet that can compare to the emotional roller coaster we ride in dealing with our DCs. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
