Have you Ever Had A Panic Attack Before and if you have what did you do ?
I have been Having Panick attacks for many years now , I had them so bad AT One point in my life I couldn’t even leave my house or Drive A car. It seemed like everytime I got in my Car I would have one. And i use to have to take meds to calm me down. But Like I said it was 6 years ago since this started , and now I am able to have no Medication , and just Breath and relax. TRUSTME IT TOOK MANY YEARS TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT. But befor I learned to do it on my own I would run to the ER , because I really thought I was having A geart attack , or going to die at any min. I cant beleave I was like that , But trust me it is no fun. I Now have them maybe 2 time A month sometimes more if im really stressed out , but like I said I breath and calm myself Down lots of therapy LOL…
So have any of you had one before , and did you ever get rid of them so that they Never come back anymore. And if you did Please share with Me what You did.
Thank you ….
I’ve had quite a few panic attacks over the last couple of years. They tend to happen at times when I’m under even more stress than usual.
At this moment I’m not sure if they will ever cease completely. However, when I’m having an attack I use methods to "ground" myself – to bring myself back to reality. I often feel like I have a disconnect with reality when I’m in the middle of an attack.
I bring myself back to reality by using my senses to engage with concrete things around me. For example I might touch something and focus on observing its texture. Or, I might focus on a sound or a scent.
I also try breathing methods, although for me personally, I find that I’m not too good at controlling my breathing in the middle of an attack.
I hope this helps.

Can you write down everytime you have a panic attack and avoid those situations.
I can’t really relate because i dont get panic attacks but i do quite often stress out that bad over silly things that i start crying and can’t breathe.
I dont even have a solution for that apart from wait until i feel better. So I really am no help but just wanted to let you know my thoughts are with you…it must be tough!

Yes I have had panic attacks, and am still prone to high levels of anxiety, a very common problem for many people. No more attacks in recent memory, they seemed to relate to specific issues that are resolved.
