I have a neat trick that's quite hard to describe. I think of the color black, I know that may sound crazy, but basically focus on black. I do this with my eyes closed. When the pain starts to come from the co2 or lack of oxygen, whatever is the case, I go somewhere else in my mind and concentrate on black. When the panic comes back, I do the same thing, basically just focusing on black. I hope this makes some kind of sense to ya. It's kind of like flying through space in my head if that helps. If you go really deep into the black you can seriously zone out.
re-reading that makes me sound like i'm on drugs, lol
I started 3 days ago, at 1:30 and tonight I hit 2:30 dry static. I feel I can do 3
