Panic Attack? More like a terror attack..

I have been suffering from panic attacks for 3 years....Oh man. At first I couldn't come out of my house. I mean, when it hits you, its terrofying, you feel like your going to die, you need a way out, but how? In the beginning i went to a restaurant, movies, ect, with my parents and would end up having a panic attack and saying..."We need to go now! I want to go home!." Then after a while it upset my parents, so i just stayed home. Right now I am getting better, however some things still terrorize me, so I can't go to college and college is my dream... It upsets me so much that "normal" people can walk in and out of college so easily, they don't know how lucky they are. One place that particularly terrorizes me is the beauty salon, my mom keeps pushing me but she doesn't know how much courage it takes to go...i feel suck. Well one day I tried to be brave...i ended up having a huge panick attack and the symptoms were startling. I got dizzy, i felt like i was going to fall down and pass out and wake in a the hospital bed <---This is my worst nightmare and one reason i panick, i dont want to end up in the hospital. Another think that took a lot of guts is walking to the food store, like 10 minutes walk from my house. My greatest fear is having a panic attack while im walking on the sidewalk and passing out on the pavement. Some car spots me and calls the police believe a dead body on sidewalk and making the local News on TV. I would be devastating and extremely embarrassed if that happened. Right now I have taken so many risks, im getting betterr..however its slightly there, I still can't go to college and thats the big deal.
