Hello there! I suffer from panick
disorder as well, and although I am on
medication, a lot of the healing process
or prevention process is you and how you
think.
I like to first establish why I am
panicking, remind myself that panicking
will not help my situation, and come up
with a few rational solutions to the
problem.
It could definitly take upwards of a month
to train your body not to panick or just
to be anxious and not panick. There are
some great books out there that you may
want to look into on how to deal with a
panick attack.
I am 25, and had my first panick attacks
at 18 - was able to recover without
meds...Then they came back to haunt me at
a low time in my life, around 22 years
old, and I didn't have the mental stregth
to ward them off, so now I am on
medication.
