ive been having mild panic attacks for about 5 months now. Recently (as in the past 3 weeks) theyve got really bad to the point that something like a loud bang can set me off. I used to be able to stop myself getting to panicky before, but now I just can't. None of my friends seem to understand or care and loads of them dont even know what a panic attack is so they just think Im weird. One of my closer friends suggested counselling but I dont want everyone to think Im an attention seeker.

What should I do - Im stuck please help me
