I deal with panic attacks since I was 13 years old, I've been taking some pills about almost 10 years from now (diazepam for panic attacks and cipralex for depression), there was a time I couldn't even leave my house because of the fear of having a panic attack and that caused me serious depression, I was medicated to depression too but I finally stopped this year, I'm also trying to stay out of the panic attack medication, I just take one pill in sos
thing is: it's all in your mind, of course the pills will help you, but if you can control it it's even better, it was hard for me for being 'clean' after 10 years of diazepam, first weeks were rough but right now I'm totally fine, today I had to the center of my city and I took a train, I was "exposed" in the middle of lots of people, If that happend like 5 years ago I'm pretty sure I would have a panic attack even with the medication, I had a diazepam in my pocket just in case but I tried to get my mind distracted and It worked well (I'm sorry if this sounds dumb to you guys but It's been my life lately )
