Okkayy,

my sister is so much more worst than you, or was.

what she did was she went outside and just ran around she kind of had a mental breakdown but she was aware of it, so basically she ust went wild ,

try forgetting everything you are afraid of and what you might get a possible panic attack from, just start screaming when you think your going to have a panic attack it gets all the scaryness out of you.

it really helped my sister xD

so be wild,  go on holiday just forget the world bascally,

i really do wish you get better : )

I do not know what causes your attack/s, I have them, but I try to push through it. Talking to self and comforting self, or have someone go through it with me. Like if I have an attack going into a new place, I take someone with me, so I can turn to them if I fail, or can't go through something. I often feel that the person with me needs me to deal, handle, and get through what it is causing me to want to freak out and panic.

Since you are able to walk/ talk other through their attacks means you have the basics, and so now you just need to put them to work, but if  you seem to not be able to, this is where having someone there can perhaps ease you through, it seems like you are a strong person, and a great help to others, and consider them, so try doing things in your mind for them, if doing it for YOU doesn't seem to work. I hope this helps, take care....
