Welcome, Marty! It's so nice to see you;) You are NOT alone. Many of us have learned to live well with anxiety/panic. You can do it, too!
You got alot of suggestions in chat last night. Others will be along to add their thoughts. For now, read the posts & especially the *coping tips & tricks* folder below. There's tons of ways to relax & reduce stress that will help you through the attacks.
I use belly breathing & meditation to relax when I panic. Write a list of positive thoughts to read when you get anxious. Things like, *I will be fine. Panic cannot hurt me. Noone ever died from a panic attack. This will pass quickly.* Also, meds & therapy can be successful until you have learned new ways of coping. It doesn't mean you're crazy when you visit a counselor.
We care about you & want you to feel better. Post anytime with questions or concerns. Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan
hi marty,
are you feeling any better today?
jan had a lot of great suggestions.
Well it seems as though you have already gotten some great advice. I just wanted to add that you are not alone. It is such a difficult thing to coap with but YOU CAN. It just takes some work and finding out that techniques work for you.

the panic attacks. He will be able to offer his suggestions
and maybe some medication to help you relax! Sometimes talking
to a doctor helps on its own!! Just my thoughts! Take care!! Judy
Hi!
I noticed your username was 'crazy4pepsi'. By any chance, do you drink a lot of it? I've found that I'm very sensitive to caffeine and a cup of coffee can trigger anxiety in me.
