I am even scared to go to school sometimes. My best help is to read or listen to my ipod. I usually take some good car magazines (Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Consumer Reports, etc.) with me and my iPod. I dont know if you like to read but it helps me. I sometimes have to talk myself out of it. I went to a big city about an hour from my house thursday and just said to myself ''Spencer (thats my name) this is stupid! You are fine and nothing is going to happen just breathe!'' It does help. I am on Xanax anf it doesnt do anything for me. Just go outside if you are in a store or something and breathe. Go to your car or something. It is very hard to stop a panic attack because usually you have to ride the whole thing out. It will only last about 10 minutes but it feels like hours. The worst that can happen is that you will pass out. But to answer your question, breathe and do something that distracts you. Take deep breaths and talk yourself out of it. You must stop it before it starts! I hope I helped you. You can email me at anytime and I will respond when I can....spencershaver@yahoo.com. Have a good day!<br><b>References : </b><br>Me Hi, I havent had a panic attack since August 9th but ever since I had it I freak out when I leave my house. I am even scared to go to school sometimes.

It can be caused by anxiety or caused by nothing at all. Medications are a short term fix. To really know how to deal with panic attacks you would have to get mental training from experts. Because you can calm your body by deep breathing but your not calming the mind. I had panic attacks for awhile and suffered from a few bad ones. There is a blog I wrote that speaks about them and even a program that I use to help me keep away panic attacks from happening again. http://thepanicattackcure.blogspot.com<br><b>References : </b><br>http://thepanicattackcure.blogspot.com/ Panic Attacks are trigger from the brain, its a fight or flight reaction.

I have however learned to quickly recognize when one is about to occur and then find something to distract myself. Anything that is either a busy task, think housework, or just completely random but requires me to focus on it. I like video games but they can be hit and miss cause it sometimes amps up my nerves. The key is that I stopped trying to reason with it directly because that only feeds into it and sustains it.<br><b>References : </b><br> Since anxiety and panic attacks are typically for irrational reasons, I try not to think my way out of them because that only makes it worse.

What really helped was breathing into a paper bag. I know it sounds cliche but basically when you start hyper-ventillating you are getting too much oxygen. Breathing into the paper bag forces you to slow down your breathing becasue you stop getting enough oxygen. I also had someone I could call no matter what time of night it was who could usually talk me down out of my panic. I also have medication (xanax) that I take when I start to feel a panic attack coming on. And I have gone through DBT therapy to pinpoint WHY I feel so panicy and try to head off panic attacks (this has actaully worked the best for me as I haven't had a panic attack in 3 months and don't even know if the xanax would work becasue I have never had to take it)<br><b>References : </b><br> When I would have panic attacks I would start breathing irregularly.
