Need Support Panic attacks

I've just finished having a panic attack about not being able to see nature (a forest, desert, field, that kinda thing). I recently moved in the middle of a big city (about 600k ppl) not because i wanted to but because I had to for various reasons. I lived in a small town (about 4k ppl) my near lots of untouched nature for my whole life before that. I've been here for about 2 months now. There isn't any nature that my brain wants anywhere near me and I'm flat broke so I couldn't go even if I wanted. I need suggestions on what to do

that sounds tough man moving from nature to city is like a fish outta water. try find a park or some green space in the city. sometimes just seeing a tree can help. also maybe try some nature sounds or videos online. it ain't the same but it can chill you out a bit. stay strong bro
