That's wrong, I certainly managed to calm myself down when going through panic attacks. When they first started happening I was very scared, they were like you were about to die. As soon as I knew what they were, just saying to yourself 'this is a panic attack, its ok, it'll pass' over and over stopped it getting out of control.

The trouble with panic attack advice is that most of the advice online is from chronic sufferers who often don't seem to want to be cured.

It is mind over matter for panic attacks. You can say 'this is just a panic attack' and the symptoms go away. Exercise actually works. Eating right works. Cutting out alcohol/caffeine works. Meditation works.

Mine are gone. I occasionally have mild anxiety attacks when stressed, but recognise them for what they are now. But the things that I thought were heart attacks, the massive overwhelming, dread-inducing panic attacks? Gone.
