Panic Attacks Support Group
A panic attack is a period of intense fear or discomfort, typically with an abrupt onset and usually lasting no more than thirty minutes.

Hi! I'm new here(obviously) I'm 23 and I have been fighting panic attacks since I was 12. I had them under control for a while but I was sexually assaulted two years ago and since then it seems to be a downward spiral with the panic attacks.
I'm in therapy for the attack but it still hasn't helped much with the attacks.
Sometimes I feel like I'm going out of my own head, I shake and get dizzy and I fear nothing at all. My dad has panic attacks and he has been on xanax since I was little, he is alot of help but I guess I just need to know that there are people out there who survive on a daily basis. I need to know that I can have a normal life. Lately all I can do is cry and wonder why I am the way I am. My fiance tries so hard to help but he just doesn't understand.
I know that I will never be free of panic attacks but I really need help to find a way to get rid of them. I need friends and support I just moved to a new town and I'll take anything! :)
So please any advice is useful!!
Thanks :)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
