How can I overcome panic attacks?
BySometimes I have them all day long.
I had Panic Attacks for about 5 yrs. That was about 15 yrs. ago now and my best advice is to meet it head on. I know that sounds like the last thing that you want to do. I always felt like I was going to pass out or have a heart attack and everybody would be standing over me looking at me. I hated crowds, and standing in line to a movie or whatever. I did talk to a professional about it but I really do not feel that he did any good for me. One day I just said with a friend at first that I am tired of this and went out and faced my issues. I kept saying to myself standing in line I’m not going to pass out it’s all in my head and if I do too bad I will get over it. To this day I still challenge myself but it does get better and better as time goes by, it really does. Good Luck and if you need to talk my e-mail is on my profile page.

That’s probably because you’re suffering from Autism, it makes you lose contact with the world around you and when something jerks you back, it’s startling. If this is the case, you should get help professionally.
Answer my question if you can?

A psychiatrist and I think I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I get panic attacks too, but only when I’m "triggered" by something in my past, but I know people have panic attacks for all sorts of reasons. You should talk to a therapist. They can give you some medicine or talk to you so that you will calm down.

See your doctor. Check your diet. If you are eating a lot of refined sugars, drinking a lot of pop or coffee, not eating throughout the day, your "panic attacks" could be unstable blood sugar or caffeine produced anxiety. After you are sure your anxiety has no dietary cause, you might want to look for a psychological cause. I would not look too hard. It’s either a situation you can identify right away (new school, nervous about college applications, bully has it in for you) or it’s not. If you have a problem you can fix (make some friends, make yourself stop worrying about colleges, deal with the bully) fix it. If there is no reason for anxiety, try beta blockers.
