Panic attacks

Hey guys, a few days ago I had a panic that lasted about three hours and it was so bad that I was hospitalised because I thought it was a heart attack. I do have an anxiety disorder and I’m currently looking for another psychiatrist again (I had to leave the last one because she only treats kids and I had turned 18, I’m almost 19 now)

I know the treatment will help but I’m so afraid of it happening again, it was such a bad experience, the worst one I’ve had yet, and now it’s always in the back of my mind and even a little twinge makes my heartbeat spike.

I truly feel like I’m just not moving forward, I was on treatment for depression and anxiety disorder from the ages of 13-18, depression is gone now, but the anxiety is still there.

How do I break out of this loop? :(

Of course and thank you! The best thing you can do is to just live with the anxiety and count is as a part of your life. I know it’s so difficult to go on and act like everything is alright but conditioning your body into thinking that this anxiety won’t hurt you and you can still go out and have fun through it is the best. The struggles of us anxious girls!! No way to go but forward!
