Answers:
No, you did an admirable thing by taking responsibility for your illness and treating it!. But if you're interested in conquering your panic attacks for good and in a way that will possibly make you respect yourself even more, you should consider exposure therapy!. It's very effective for panic attacks and often eliminates them completely, even in severe cases!. I apologize if you've heard this before, but:
Exposure therapy is a treatment that involves, as you might expect, exposing you to the problem symptom in a safe setting so it can be treated!. With the help of a behavioral psychiatrist or psychologist, you first imagine a panic attack and tell yourself, "I'm not dying, I'm not having a heart attack, my heart is beating fast so I'm not going to faint!.!.!." etc!. Eventually, you might even (now don't freak out) INDUCE a panic attack in your therapist's office, and see how you can calm yourself on your own!
Try it if you haven't already, and I think you'll be happy with the results!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
