This is precisely why the best (and in some ways only) way to beat anxiety is to change your relationship with a panic attack.
Instead of fearing it (essentially building up a habit of the fear of fear), keep telling yourself that nothing bad happens and they always pass.
You're gonna have a panic attack, so what? Let it happen, let it pass.
Takes practice, so best start now, right?
Excellent advice Joe.
