unfortunately, I now know and realize that no one can help us but ourselves and I know how much that sucks. I hate it but it is true.
That is why when we talk to others, it helps only temporarily.
I used to get actual panic attacks but now I don't because this is what I used to do:
when I felt it coming on I would not resist it and I would let it do whatever it wants to me no matter how uncomfortable it made me. I would even talk to it, like, "ok, so I am dying so what, let it happen, ok, and this is how it feels ok so what, and i'm scared ok, so what, and I let it take me over and fully feel it sort of observe it as if I was seeing it in someone else and then because I did all this it lost all its power because it could not do anything to me and I never died! It is powerless, just feelings, wrong feelings
don't fight it, just go with it.
This is true with any anxiety feeling or thoughts or anything
So tough to do but it is the key
hope it helped some
