Can someone give me ideas of what i can do to control my panic disorder and anxiety?

I have been having severe panic attacks for about 8 years now and nothing is working no matter what.I have trouble going out in public,eating at restaurants,going to stores/malls,being alone by myself out of fear of a panic attack,going to school,traveling and it's really ruining my life and I feel that it's ruining my parents lives at times because I can't go anywhere with it and it's taking fun out of everything.I used to use self-injury as a way to cope with the anxiety but still that don't even work anymore.please help

yah I've seen professional therapists.probably.......3 of them.one I still see,another one never got back to me after the first appointment and the other was just an evaluation

I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be a chemical they put in food called sucralose. And it is in a lot of stuff. From fitness water to tomato sauce.

Sucralose is what Splenda is. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read the ingredients.

Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues and more.

Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose

The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.

carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air

It sounds like you're afraid of being afraid! With panic/anxiety, just the fear of being anxious can trigger a panic attack. I know.
There are ways of breathing that can stop an anxiety attack in its tracks. You just have to have confidence in your mind and your body, that there is nothing you can't deal with. (If you think about it, you'll see the truth in this.)
You just have to see that you are judging yourself far more harshly than anyone else is. If you go to a mall, you notice yourself (or how you THINK other people notice you), far more than others actually do.
A therapist would be able to show you this far better than I can.

As a fellow panic anxiety attack suffer, go see a psychiatrist. They have great meds which they can put you on, which will alliviate the panic attacks.
I am on Klonopin .5 mgs 4 times a day. This is a benzodiazapean, which is in the same class as valium. It relaxes me.
I am also on Prozac 80 mgs per day. This is what makes me feel good, gives me self confidence, outgoing, etc.
If you need/want to talk, please know that you can e-mail me as I am here for a fellow sufferer.
