I used to have and I think I still have it til now.

you'll learn how to deal with it bro...

A considerable number of people who have panic attacks and who have anxiety disorders also have an underlying case of depression. That was the case with me. I suffered in silence for years, deluding myself into believing that all I needed to overcome my mental problems was willpower. But willpower can only take you so far. I took meds for my depression, and the difference was night and day. So to everyone who is dealing with this, there is help out there. Explore your options, do research, be vigilant, and don't lose hope.

indeed, we can help each other make it a whole lot better for all those who have this!

Before I started having panic attacks, I was completely active. I wall climbed not less than three to four times a week. My withdraw was abrupt and lasted a long time. I wonder if that also contributed to the attacks.

Anyway, avoiding certain triggers like horror movies or bad news on TV worked for me. I think it's a crucial step towards your understanding of PA when you know some of the things that trigger it. During that time I completely stopped watching the news or watched scary movies and told family members not to suddenly blurt out irrelevant depressing news to me.

I avoided coffee (yes please avoid coffee) and cigarettes (this too), crowd and depressing music, though gradually I took to taking night strolls, sort of like testing the waters (because I was afraid to go out alone, a far cry from my old self nga mo lakaw sa Colon mao rang usa in the dead of night, though that was more of stupidity than anything else) until I felt normal again.

I think there might be more people who have PA than we know of. They just don't know what's happening to them.

God bless everyone!
