Hahaha. I’ll bet you will be surprised at how good your “substituted everything” chocolate chip cookies will be. For real! Everything you mentioned will work just fine.

Oh for goodness sakes. Stop all the arguing. Let the lady tell what she knows. And, for the record, let me clear up what happens when you run through the ER doors gasping for breath, clutching your chest with spiking BP and tachycardia. You will be triaged immediately, and if it is determined that you are not having a heart attack, don’t have a blood clot in the lungs, etc, after a barrage of tests, then you’re evaluated for a panic attack. They can present nearly identically, not always, but they do a lot. Once you’re treated with an anti-anxiety drug, monitored for a few hours, and you respond, and everything returns to normal, you’re released. Panic disorder is a condition that the person has NO conscious control over. They can even happen in the middle of the night out of a dead sleep or on the happiest, most stress free day of your life; just out of the blue! It’s a far different condition than having a psychotic breakdown where a hospital hold may be necessary. (Bracing for incoming

PS: That last bit is not pointing the finger at ANYONE. It just attached itself to the chocolate chip cookie compliment that I gave to Cheryl.
