And read this. I posted this on a forum about Panic Attacks and my experience. Hope it helps!

WE CAN STOP THIS. IT’S ALL IN OUR HEADS. I’m LIVING PROOF.

Though I am 98% better than I used to be and consider my Panic to be behind me mostly, I know that my fear was and still is this:

a) I’m going to die young
b) I’m going to die suddenly, without warning.

They don’t scare me like they used to because after months of dealing with it, I realized that I am not a stupid person and I wanted to figure out why I feel this way. It started on August 26th, with my close friend Tracey passing away from a Brain Aneurysm SUDDENLY at the age of 20. At her funeral, I heard she had a headache the day she died, and that was it for me.

So began the headaches, the scary uncontrollable panic, the chest pains, the dizziness, the difficulty breathing, the hallucinations, the fear of driving or dying while driving because I’m alone and no one could help me, and slight agoraphobia.

It was the most terrifying 5 months of my life.

So I researched and I listened to The Linden Method, and I researched more and I analyzed myself and my fears and tried Paxil in October, and the wonder drug Xanax, which I call God In Pill Form…and it was all so crazy.

I quit taking Paxil in January because I believed that I didn’t need it and didn’t want to take something unnecessary. I was told "Take this and you’ll be cured of your panic attacks." Bullshit. Did you know that it’s something like 70% of all doctors office visits end with a prescription for an Anti-Depressant? That’s ridiculous. If you research your medication, it can be a little scary. I didn’t want to be an Anti-Depressant for something I knew was all in my head. Besides, I wasn’t depressed. Just scared. So because I stopped Paxil cold turkey, I rang in the New Year by suffering from BRAIN ZAPS. EW. What a FUCKED UP FEELING. I wasn’t warned about that though, was I?

I realized I have to push myself. And it SUCKED, but I knew I had to. I realized that my fear was of dying, and that if I stop "living" my life the way I always had –going out being spontaneous and fun and surrounding myself with the things I loved, I was in a way dying, because I had resorted to everything that I had feared and hated.

I gave up driving for awhile, and I continued working. I began to read Sylvia Brown’s Journey To The Soul series again, and everytime I felt I was going to have a Panic Attack I’d repeat to myself "Through God, Anything Is Possible". I put my faith in that higher power and told myself that because he has the power to help me, and he is in me, I can make myself better. And I did. Days passed without panic. Weeks. Months. I removed myself from the mindset and saw myself again. And I was happy and free again.

And here I am now, and I haven’t panicked in 3 months.
I still get the occasional feeling that I COULD panic, but then I just talk myself through it because I know what it is and that I’m okay. If worst comes to worst, I take a Xanax and just try to relax. Aside from driving I don’t have the problems I used to. IT’S ALL IN THE MIND. WE ARE IN CONTROL OF THIS. WE STARTED IT. AND WE CAN STOP IT.

If there is ANY WAY I can help, please let me know.
I think I’ve been through it all.
So Message me. I’d be glad to talk.
