I know how you are feeling. Being aware of your breathing makes it so much worse because then you feel like you cant breathe at all.

When a panic attacks comes (this is gonna sound easier then it actually is to do) try to remember that you will get through it. Concentrating on something else and making your mind move on from the fear of the attack will help. Even trying to close your eyes and visualize a calm place. Looking around and naming 5 things you can see, touch and hear helps also. Counting backwards by 7's. All these are standard when trying to deal with an anxiety attack. You just need to find what works for you. Dont be discouraged. Anxiety is a horrible, horrible thing. I know how it can make you feel. If you ever need to talk, I am here.
