I had 2 bats flying around my cabin last week. Freaked me out. The lodge owners wife told me thats their home and they will never hit you flying. Sure as shit, got up with my headlamp still drunk in a cabin in the jungle of Panama and these bats flew around like crazy, but never hitting me. The first time I went ape shit terrified, and swinging, by the end of the week it was just a bat or 2 in my cabana and a scorpion.(that got killed) Maybe thats like life, terrified of small things that are scary but harmless
I know it's been brought up here before, but meditation really helps. I have never had a panic attack, but I've had trouble falling asleep before and due to the nature of my job I really can't take anything other than melatonin (even if I could, I don't care to take unnatural substances other than alcohol) but doing 10 min of meditation before bed helps me fall right asleep. It really unwinds you and makes you realize how "busy" your mind can be. There's a youtube video called the presence practice that talks you through a 10 min deal.
Being the resident Georgia 1013 it sounds like you have a lot of ghosts from the past. A good therapist can help you come to terms with them and help guide you forward. I highly recommend finding one if you don't already have one. I can't take benzodiazepines any more and have had a hard time dealing with anxiety attacks in the past. Propranalol is a BP medication that also helps with the physical symptoms of anxiety which allows you to focus on the mental triggers. The mind and body both consume energy and when you can get one calmer you can focus more on the other. Also meditation can really help with calming the mind and relaxing the body. I was skeptical at first but after a few sessions led by a good person or even a good recorded med it really helped me relax body and mind. I'm also medicated as fuck on anti psychotics which helps.
Damn straight. Major depression is a bitch. It's either pills and therapy or a bullet in the brain for me.

I think I heard something about peppermint as a remedy for panic attacks. Could be lore, could be something to check out.
