hi BarbaraCat..I think what helped me the most in the long run about panic and axiety was learning to overcome the fear and calm myself during attacks..I would tell myself this isnt going to kill me, I would cup my hands over my mouth and nose and breathe slowly till i had it under control. The more I learned to talk myself through it and lower my adrenalin the easier it was for me to get through panic. You have to be determined and talk to yourself and say you aren't going to let this get the best of you. Might be easier said than done but in time this all worked for me. I just found ways to calm myself. I would immeadiately find something to do to distract myself from the attacks..music..humming..and to not be afraid. I know its a hard thing to get through but the more things you can teach yourself the easier it will get.
