So now my full blown panic attacks are out of the way, I have a worse symptom to contend with. I start to think about my breathing, then I think about how it feels like I can't breath, then I convince myself any second now i'll freak out and I fight it so much I can go for hours in some half panic attack state. Happened today unfortunately, I know the only way to overcome it is to relax but that feels like I have to go through the panic to come out the other side. I would love a way to stop it before it builds anyway anyone else have this?

I find diverting my thoughts in to doing something all of the time.
I found that just relaxing leaves the Mind open to thoughts!
Puzzles, games, a hobbie/pastime, will definitely help.:)
