MattamVS7, this is something that I had to deal with. When I had my first panic attack all I could think of was having a panic attack and dying. The thoughts that swirl in your head are very difficult. I have gone a long way with CBT therapy. I do not take drugs for my panic either. It is not an easy process but as time goes on and you begin to do the exercises given to you by the therapist it does help. Another thing that really helped was having support from friends and family. Being able to talk about it help alot. Also I do not know if you can but take a vacation. I went away for 2 weeks this summer and I came back a new person, I felt a change and that encouraged me to fight back. Thoughts can sometimes be very overwhelming but if you take 2 seconds to analyze the thought and try to figure out what evidence you have to sustain the thought l, you will see that the thought has no basis. Hope you feel better.
