Waves,

They can move the tv (or as you suggested, move you to another room).

They can handle this. It is not a big sacrifice for them to move the tv to another room to accommodate your need not to hear news or whatever garbage they turn on. It might feel like a big deal to you because you are dealing with panic and anxiety.

This sounds awful for me to say it but I am glad in a way that your mother got to witness /experience your panic attack. There is no way to describe panic attacks to even very sympathetic listeners. Now that the attack has freaked her out a little I can hope for you that you can see changes.

I think it is wonderful that your father is going to check out yoga and Tai Chi for you. I stayed away from Tai Chi because it looks harder to me because of the standing poses and the greater emphasis on mental focus. Yoga works better for me because I don't have to pay attention as much as I would doing Tai Chi. .. .not trying to get off topic here . .. . perhaps the fact that Tai Chi would be such a challenge for me, means that I should work on that instead of yoga.
Anyway, your father can be helpful to you and I find that wonderful.

Please please be ok.
Stay safe. If it helps to post, give us updates.
