I have a problem. I've been cutting myself more and more to prevent panic attacks when I feel them coming on. My stomach has so many cuts that I can't bend over without hurting, and my legs are so cut up that I can barely get dressed without crying. I need a better way to cope, but all the advice I have from my friend (who also suffers from panic attacks) about stopping attacks isn't working. I can't keep leaving school early because I panicked in class; I'll fail out, and it'll just be another failure to add on to my list of inadequecies.

Help please!
