I actually feel like screaming and throwing punches after a panic attack, music just doesn't do it for me.

I like to listen to certain artists when I'm anxious to help calm down.. Sarah McLachlan, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Evanescence, Tegan and Sara. Lol those are the ones I listen to most probably..

I don't know what I'd do without music

hahaha yeahhh, 311 is such a good chill band. since i don't smoke anymore, they can be kinda depressing though, haha. us anxious people need to mellow out somehow, though. we just steal the stoner's music. =P

i've actually never smoked, ever... lol, but i still love them.. i was with a guy who smoked just about every 30 minutes every day, constantly! lol and i still never did it... i don't mind people who do at all, i'm just scared to cause i feel like i'll go into a drug induced panic attack or some shit! lmao!
 
I'm used to listen to rock and Irish music when I'm nervous, but nowadays I also listen to cool jazz, lounge music and rockabilly to calm myself down.

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor
And watch the door
And in between I drink
Black coffee...

haha, that's the exact same reason i quit, too! i'm not sure how i would react to a panic attack if i was all drugged up or something. i've been absolutely clean for about a month, since my panic attacks first started. and i've been scared to go back to the shit since. panic attacks are a very sensible way to quit doing harmful things to yourself. =P
 
black sabbath's my sh!t. :]
i mean, i love all kinds of music.
but sometimes i think that my unnerving grindcore music makes me more nervous than anything else. it could be a mindfck though, i dont know.

If I'm actually having a panic attack, music would only make it worse. A lot of my panic attacks are brought on by noises I hear & I have to calm myself enough & make it super quiet in order for it to get better.
