It's a horrible vicious cycle and my heart really goes out to you.
I think it would be really helpful for you to work with a therapist. I understand that you feel the most urgent need to talk to someone while you're actually having a Panic Attack, but it's really important also to talk in counseling about what might be behind the Panic Attacks. And a therapist or counselor can also teach you some coping skills.
You mention that your old doctor has retired, but I'm wondering if you could ask the new doctor to refer you to a counselor??

I used to see a therapist years and years ago. I went to 3 different ones and found there was no click. So that is why my doctor started counseling me. I still have to find a new doctor. There is a nurse that works at my dr surgery that said she is willing to talk to me and helo me out when ever i have one.
I just can't believe that i had a grip on them for years and I don;t knkow how I over came the opanic attacks. Where's this time where i used to worked they think brought on the panic attacks from stress and a some of the male staff bulling. I had a masive one at work about 7 months ago and it would go away then come back go away then come back. It was like that for 3 hours. I have since quit work there and the panic attacks did ease up a bit. But know as soon as something different happens I freak out. I just qant to remembr how I won the battle last time
