    I have had panick attacks since i was 15—They went away for awhile though–What i would suggest is that you should keep telling your self its going to be ok and that you are calm and this will help you….
    I also get panic attacks when i talk about them as well

    Any book or cd produced by Anthony Robbins will help much more than a therapist!!!!! He has cd’s also!!!!

    How will you know until you try. Panic attacks are so debilitating, don’t think twice about it (don’t fear it) make yourself go. It will get better.
    Good Luck

    try talking to yourself a little as weird as it is, practice talking to him in a mirror or something and convince yourself that you can do it.

    talking to a complete stranger about your problems and listening to his suggestions is kinda soothing .im guessin your stressed try no to think so much start excersing or just going out anything so that you dont think so much. if its your job get another .

    Ahhh! I remember those.

    The feeling that you get and makes you think that you are going to die. You are fine one minute, enjoying a hobby and all of a dreadful sudden, you can’t breathe, yet in reality you are breathing too fast. This keeps happening and you have no control, now, the world gets darker and you slightly pass out until you can’t hear a word. Perhaps at times, you feel a need to get away from wherever you are standing, a need to run to safety, and the more you go, the further you get, the safer you feel, until a midst of depresison settles in.

    Im so sorry to hear you are going through this, I developed a sever panic/anxiety disorder at the age of 12. I am now 21 and ocasionally get these, although not every other day like before.

    I too questioned how talking about a problem was supposed to help me, and learned that while it helps some people, it doesn’t help all. Personally, I got more benefit from talking to people who could advise me to control myself.

    Hints such as
    1-Breathe into a paper bag slowly
    2-Take deep deep breaths
    3Slow your breathing down
    4-Close your eyes and imagin your favorite spot

    It didn’t always work, but at some times, it did the trick.

    I tried medicine, natural supplements and in the end, I felt much better.

    I know now, that in order to help oneself, one needs to figure out how to minimize these attacks. Taking as many hints as possible etc.

    Im sure you can figure this out too, best wishes on your way to a better health. Be patient, it takes time.

    I’ve been wondering this for a long time because i hate to rely on a pill every day to make me feel normal. My therapist told me something that i didn’t think would work, but it has worked out for me. And that is to try and make the panic attack worse. This might sound crazy but it is impossible to make it worse. this put you in control and therefore makes you feel better because you are in control.

    i have had panic attacks my whole life and understand what your going through…
    you need to just tell yourself over and over again on your head that your fine and that this is why your here to speak to the therapist.. so that they can help you. but dont feel to bad or upset at yourself for have an attack in the office in front of the therapist cause it will help him or her to see the true you when you are under an attack and he or she can get a better understaning of you and your attacks. i have been in that spot before and having them see the picture in motion can help to fix a lot of the problems.

    Cognitive-behavioral therapy works wonders for some people.

    The goal of Behavior Therapy is to modify and gain control over unwanted behavior. The individual learns to cope with difficult situations, often through controlled exposure to them. This kind of therapy gives the individual a sense of having control over their life.

    The goal of Cognitive Therapy is to change unproductive or harmful thought patterns. The individual examines his feelings and learns to separate realistic from unrealistic thoughts. As with Behavior Therapy, the individual is actively involved in his own recovery and has a sense of control.

    Many therapists use a combination of Cognitive and Behavior Therapies, this is often referred to as CBT. One of the benefits of these types therapies is that the patient learns recovery skills that are useful for a lifetime.
