hi there I know it is very frightening and I so feel for you, are you taking any kind of medication for your attacks, they have meds that can work right away and they take the edge off but you have to be careful with these,only a dr. who diagnoses you can give you these,they can be addicting but the important thing is take them only when you need to. There is also the med that takes a few weeks to work but the thing is if this is stopping you from living your life..there is that alternative you don't have to suffer. I went that route because I needed help while I was finding other ways to help myself. Panic attacks are a chemical imbalance especially if your having them all the time. I perfer the natural way to heal myself but I needed help in the mean time to get started and a dr. will slowly wean you off. I know it sounds scary but I looked at as a cushion to sit on while I wa healing. Now I excercise like walking is good it's cheap and the excercise raise your good mood endorphins and gives you something to focus on. Yoga helps with the breathing..one thing I found out is you can't just do one thing..it has to be a whole change..e.g just taking meds and not eating right and not excercising it's the whole package. Being consistant is hte key. Take one step at a time live life one day at a time. The only thing I can say is when your having an attack try saying this out loud or to yourself.." Ok I know what this is , just relax it's not going to hurt you it will pass..just take some deep breaths let it come...it's a panic attack and it will pass ...breath your going to be ok" ..they say we create our own attacks and we have to accept them and not to be scared..it's your own adrenal thats rising because we gat afraid of the attacks, facing them head on and saying come on Panic attacks you don't scare me.....thats Cognitive therapy. Pay attention to the feelin gwhen it comes but don't obsess with it casually look at it and say alright here it comes....and it WILL pass.....this will create more of a positive attitude in you after a while it just takes persistant and I promise it will pass because I'v ebeen ther and that's my opinion...take care I'll check to see how your doing the sun will shine again.
