You came out of the wall
And followed me down the hall.
I know there's air
But it feels like it's not there.
My heart is pounding,
I'm getting nowhere with grounding.

Last night, I had a severe panic attack with hallucinations. The visuals were similar to the image I used. I was choking on air, tight throat, crying, and shaking so bad.

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

That sounds terrible! Hope you are feeling better. The panic attacks come and go for me with varying degrees of intensity. But this did not sound like fun at all. :( Hope you tried the free version of the Dare app? Might be helpful. There were some things on it I liked, some I was not so big on. I should probably get back to using it actually as a few of the audios were very helpful for me. Best!
Omgggg, that's terrible! Are you okay now? I never knew a severe panic attack could cause hallucinations
