Hello S.Courage

Dealing with panic attacks can stand in your way in life. And having close friends and Family calling names ('' Loser") can hurt your spirit. Good news are you are aware you are dealing with low self esteem. So a good start is to work on Building your Self esteem and Self Confident in all the Self Esteem area of you life : career, family, Social life, Relationships, spirituality, ... and read books on
Panic Attacks.
Take charge of your Life. I suggest this book "The Charge" by Brendon Burchad.
