After the panic subsides. When you're afraid of the next one. When you need to understand what just happened to your body. ILTY helps you process panic.
Important: If you are currently experiencing a panic attack or medical emergency, please call 911 or your local emergency number. ILTY is designed to help between panic episodes, not during acute crisis.
A panic attack is your body's alarm system going off when there's no actual danger. Your heart pounds. You can't breathe. You might feel like you're dying. And then—often within minutes—it passes, leaving you shaken and confused.
But the worst part isn't always the attack itself. It's what comes after: the fear of it happening again. The avoidance of places where it happened. The constant body-scanning for early warning signs. The panic about panic.
ILTY helps with the in-between. Processing what happened after an attack. Understanding your triggers. Challenging the catastrophic interpretations. Reducing the fear that feeds the cycle.
After a panic attack, you're left shaken and confused. ILTY helps you make sense of what just happened and calm down the residual anxiety.
Panic attacks often have patterns, even when they feel random. Talking through your experiences can reveal triggers you hadn't noticed.
"I'm having a heart attack." "I'm going crazy." Panic creates terrifying thoughts. ILTY helps you examine them after the fact.
The fear of panic often drives more panic. Processing your experiences and understanding the mechanism can reduce anticipatory anxiety.
Panic attacks are surprisingly common. Understanding that your body's response, while terrifying, isn't dangerous can reduce the fear.
Work through what to do when you feel one coming. Having a plan reduces the helplessness that amplifies panic.
ILTY isn't scripted. Here's the kind of support you can expect:
“I just had a panic attack about an hour ago. My heart was pounding, I couldn't breathe, I was sure I was dying. I'm still shaking. I don't understand why this happened—I was just sitting at my desk.”
That sounds terrifying, and the residual shaking is normal—your body is still coming down from a massive adrenaline surge. Panic attacks can happen without an obvious trigger, which makes them even more disorienting. You're safe now. Can you tell me what you first noticed before it escalated?
“I'm supposed to fly next week and I had a panic attack on a plane last year. I'm already dreading it. I keep imagining it happening again and I can't change the flight.”
The anticipatory anxiety—dreading the panic more than the flight itself—is really common after a panic attack in a specific situation. Your brain learned 'plane = danger' and it's trying to protect you. Let's work through this: what specifically are you most afraid will happen?
ILTY is support for everyday challenges—the worry, the rumination, the difficult moments. For clinical conditions, it works best alongside professional care.
ILTY is designed to help between panic episodes, not during acute attacks. During a panic attack, focus on grounding techniques, slow breathing, or contact someone who can be physically present. If you believe you're having a medical emergency, call 911. ILTY is most helpful for processing afterward and reducing future episodes.
No. Panic disorder is a clinical condition best treated by a mental health professional, often with CBT and sometimes medication. ILTY can help you process individual episodes and reduce anticipatory anxiety, but it's a support tool—not treatment. If you're having frequent panic attacks, please seek professional help.
ILTY cannot diagnose medical conditions. Panic attack symptoms (racing heart, chest pain, difficulty breathing, dizziness) can mimic serious medical conditions. If you're unsure whether you're having a panic attack or a medical emergency, always err on the side of caution and seek medical attention.
ILTY is free during beta. When you need support, start a conversation and see if it helps.
