historically there has been nothing that can snap me out of it; if the "trigger" problem goes away, i can come out of it... otherwise it takes a good while and i just have to wait it out.

in the meantime, till my next appointment on monday, it's good to have this thread for people's thoughts and also so i can vent. i mean right now my heart's beating really hard and breathing is a little laboured but acknowledging it and mentioning it somewhere does help me keep control of the wheel, so to speak.
