    Panic attacks are horrible. At first I thought I had light sensitive Epilepsy but realised it only happened in public/busy areas. I have had a couple of really bad panic attacks. One in a supermarket, the other in a clothes shop. Afterwards I was totally shot for the rest of the day and had to sleep it was so bad.

    Also almost had a full blown panic attack in my car when driving at excessive speeds which was really stupid of me.

    I decided to check out the Linden method. You have to pay for it but it helped me a lot in managing my panic attacks.

    Distraction, exercise are very important. Also try to avoid hypnosis as it made my symptoms worse :-( Too much coffee also not good. Being in the company of friends or family when going out in public helped me massively with stopping my panic attacks. The busier you can make your social life the better, and I find if I start becoming a recluse my symptoms get really bad again.

    It usually stems from stress at work or underlying problems that you have little or no control over. Finances/ health issues/ dwelling on negatives thoughts, too much procrastination.

    They say the secret to success in business to not give a shit.
    Keeping a good sense of humour always helps, I might invest in one of those lol cubes, they seem like a really good idea, its raining here and I've had my blinds shut all day.
