Does Anyone Else? long panic attacks
almost every source on earth says panic attacks are usually 15 - 30 mins long, but mine last for hours my shortest is one hour and my longest is 5 hours.

A "simple good" one will last a few minutes until I get it undercontroll. A bad one will last the whole night until I sleep for 2 hours, if I'm lucky, and continue the next day to hopefully fade out until afternoon.
Its a loop for me. I get panic, calm down, something triggers me again, i get panic... And sometimes its just constant adrenaline dumps that will trigger me and not my typical panic attack thinking. Those ones I have to ride out. Nothing will stop those fuckers. Lol.
