I have panic attacks two and three times a day. I tolerated them at first, but now I can't seem to make it through without losing sleep or totally freaking myself out. I find myself trying to ask for help with all of this and everything that I have tried has not worked. I just want to know how to deal with all of this fear without causing too much stress? I am willing to try anything at this point. I just don't want to not be able to handle one and end up in the hospital over it. If anyone has any advice for me I will gladly take it. Ifeel absolutely alone in my struggles.

In the meantime, you have to come to terms with the fact that you cannot stop panic attacks from coming until you allow them to run their course. It sounds like you are getting frustrated because you cannot stop them. Instead of fighting them, let them come! The worst part of panic disorder is the frustration and fear of more attacks. The only way to get over this is to just lay back and say "Do your worst!" This is much easier said than done (I still have them, so obviously I have not mastered this technique). However, when one is going through a string of attacks, it usually due to the person spending all of their energy trying to fight them off, in my experience.
But my experiece is not everyone's. Good luck x
