i believe so.....i am dx'd with panic disorder but i do not fear having a panic attack. i dont have them often anymore as i have learned how to control them. im panic disorder with agoraphobia and i sit there telling myself i know i can go to the store and not have a panic attack now so wonder what the problem is.

anyway, a way to stop panic attacks is to relax. it is physically impossible to panic and relax at the same time. you dont even have to really relax. just fool your brain into thinking you are relaxing. imagine as if you just did a meditation or had a massage and all your muscles have turned into limp noodles. just let them all go. this will stop the panic attack. you may have to do it a couple times over your first tries, but when i started doing this it ended the attacks.
