I have panic attacks... I've had three in the last 4 or 5 months.
What I do is that I try to go to sleep, watch something that always made you smile, or listen to a song that brings back good memories. Talk with your mom either on the phone or in person(if you live with her) It's good to tell your parents what is going on... because they are always there for you.

When I get a panic attack, I feel trapped... I feel that I am not real... that reality is something made out of my imagination and nothing seems right. I tense up and it seems that walls are closing in, and I also get lightheaded, and feels like I want to pass out.

When my Girlfriend is over (she's been over only once when I've had a panic attack) she would play with my hair, and reassure me of everything. She's held me tighly, and just whisper sweet things into my ear.

My panic attacks only last 10-30 minutes, but the effects of it (lightheadiness, dizzyness,) are still there.

So, try to ride it out... talk to friends, talk to your boyfriend, call your mom

Breathe in thru you mouth OUT your nose

Breath in, Breathe out. Go on Youtube and listen to Hannah Montana, and then call your mom and talk to her. You'll be okay.

Don't worry if you have kleptomania. You can always take something for it.

Go to chemist take 1 tablet of Alprazolm

I'll share my mantra with you. I wrote this on index cards to carry around with me and post around the house. It didn't take long for the words to be ingrained in my heart and now I remember them automatically. Here it is:
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable
