I am so sorry. I promise you that you can get through this. I use to have so many panic attacks. If you like to read I recommend the book "I Don't Want to Be Crazy" by Samantha Schutz. It helped me so much. I brought it with me to every hospitalization as a teenager. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. ❤️

A panic attack is a horrible feeling, no doubt about that, but it's an imposter. Nobody dies of a panic attack. Nobody becomes long term disabled because of one. Nobody loses their mind. Nobody forgets the way home🤔.

A panic attack is your nervous system's way of telling you that your anxiety has reached overload. We all have different thresholds at which this point is reached but you're made just the same as everybody else. You are not unique.

You can stop them coming by neutralising the problem that has given you so much anxiety. You must deal with it firmly and bravely making major life changes if need be. Not an easy remedy but a lot easier than putting up with panic attacks until Hell freezes over.

You have nothing to fear from a panic attack despite the awful feeling. If you can overcome your fear of them then your over-sensitive nerves will recover.

Just stop fighting them (which only causes more stress) and agree to accept them just for the time being. Let them come but offer no resistance: make every muscle in your body go limp rather than taut and tense. Accept them just for the moment and carry on as normal: that way you stop giving them extra strength by obsessing and stressing about each episode.

Do these things and panic attacks lose their power over you. Why not give it a try.

I know what you mean, I often feel vulnerable when I'm anxious. Do you recall what brought on your panic attack?

I was overthinking that i will be 23 in a few days and zero accomplishment in life and single and miserable so i started panicking

I know it's hard but try not to worry about it. I'm 42 and haven't accomplished much. You've have your whole life ahead of you. Keep your chin up.
