Hi everyone- I'm a psychology student with a concentration in clinical psychology and I actually intern in a clinical mental health setting (remaining vague on purpose). I've dealt with anxiety and panic attacks for my entire life, and know quite a few things to calm down that I suggest to other people professionally as well. The thing is- I feel like I should be good at knowing how to deal with these overwhelming feelings given I have years of personal experience, and now years of academia to help me out. But I'm not when it gets bad. I know all the right things to do- deep breathing, grounding, even temperature changes, etc. but they don't work at my worst. Is there anyone else in this sub who is in the mental health field who feels the same way I do? Sometimes it makes me feel even worse that my own advice doesn't even work for me.
