hi christina,

Sorry to hear you are going through a rough time. I had my first panic attack last summer and was terrified so I can sympathise. It a scary experience, isn't it??? All I can say is that things will get better. Whether it's because you actually get better or you just get used to it, I still can't decided!! Are you going to see a doctor? I would suggest seeing someone about it. The sooner you do it, the sooner you can start to do something about it like take medication or try some relaxation tapes.
Let us know how things go!!
Take care.

Christine,

Now you know what they are , you will never have such a bad one again. Much of your fear may have been fera of not knowing what was happening to you.

Understanding what they are does help so much. It won't take them away but you need to know and accept that they won't hurt you.

You may find it helpful to read 'first steps' under the introduction section of this forum.
