For those of us struggling/dealing with these, how do you cope and prepare for situations that induce panic?
Mostly every time I leave the house I have panic attacks. I hate that this stops me from doing things that I used to love.
I’m going to a concert in a few weeks and I’m trying to get myself mentally prepared so I don’t panic all night.
I have an exit strategy in place and some things that help are carrying my xanax with me and an essential oil roller ball. I can’t wear clothes that are too tight, or sometimes being really hot can trigger me too.
What have you noticed to trigger you and how do you work to avoid it?

Mastery of panic is incredibly hard and it sounds like you are really working hard on it.
I recently found a very good book which walks you through a treatment programme. It's called 'Master your Panic and Anxiety' and is part of the 'Treatments that work' series. Get the workbook aversion. It is full of useful tips and advice.
Personally I have found venlaphaxine very helpful also.
