hi I am 25 year old female and I suffer from panic disorder, social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder. girl, trust me I completely understand what you are gong through. although I suffer from these disorders I forced myself into a situation where I don't have a choice but to be out in the world(college), anxiety and all. it is an exhausting battle but I try so hard EVERYDAY. when I first started college I would say I am going to have a panic attack. and guess what? I had a panic attack. they say that we can speak things into existence. trust me, I know that it is easier said than done but its important to try really hard to stay positive. it is not a cure but it helps me get through the day a lot easier. I say to myself, " I am in control of what happens today, and I will not panic if I don't want too" . of course their are times that I panic anyway depending on the situation, but positive results lead to positive outcomes. I know your struggle and I can relate. I really hope this post gives you some kind of comfort. stay strong and good luck!

Hi, I have panic attacks too. I was told by my therapist to take a deep breath in and slowly let it out. Do it a few times maybe even 3. This has helped me when I start to have a panic attack. Try and stay positive and don't tell yourself you will have a panic attack. I know they are very terrifying. Even if you do have one try to do the breathing. Just remember you won't die from a panic attack but you may feel like it. Also if it were me I would tell the dentist you suffer from panic attacks. Then if start to have one raise your hand or finger to let him know to stop working on you so you can do some breathing. I know it may be embarrassing but I would do it when it comes to panic. I hope this helps you even a little bit.
