Panic: Breathing exercises work, also self-talk & reassurance until the attack subsides. Gaining control is the goal. Schedule appointment with a therapist to work on cognitive behavior modification. Also yoga & meditation help.

First, diagnose the: cause, extent and intensity. Is it situation-specific? General? Does it occur during certain times of the month, or times of the day? Ask lots of these questions with a professional to narrow it down. Then, look at ways to calm down--medication, self-hypnosis, exercise. Here's a self-diagnostic reference: http://psychologyproductsandservices.com/page2.html

Reach out : Speak to a professional. A psychiatrist can evaluate whether you need medication for relief of the anxiety. A psychologist can teach you techniques to reduce anxiety. You do not have to live feeling so badly, get help and life will feel better.
