Haylee~ God's peace be with you!
Even though its been 2 days since you wrote this post,
I'm tempted to say "relax" but I know how annoying that is when you're having a panic attack. My advice, lay in bed, hug a teddy bear. Send up a little prayer. Take DEEP breathes, and try to stay focused on something postive, or good.
Prayers are with you!

My dear sister...may the peace of God be with you. Love and grace be your surroundings. Dear friend of mine...how I do love you very much. I love you because Jesus loves me...and I therefore must spread this love. I will pour out all I know for you to read of. I will send you everything that I've got in ways of wisdom and share it with you. May it all come good to you.

First, a website to analyze why you feel the way you do:

And now, prayers:
The Jesus Prayer:
Say this in your head on your breath in: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God"
Say this in your head on your breathe out: "Have mercy on me, a sinner."
Say this many many times. Monks say it nearly all day sometimes.

The Centering Prayer:
Say a word in your head on every breath in and out...something that gets you to think of God or one that my favorite author uses to stay in the NOW... "now" "love" "joy" "Peace" "hope" "abba" "abba I belong to you" "I am the beloved"
You can basically say any word you want.

Here is a website with prayers on it:
http://www.jesuit.ie/prayer/

Focus on one verse and repeat it in your head, then out loud. then repeat it in your head again. then say one word at a time with a breath between each word. Focus solely on this verse and don't let anything else slip in.

A great book to indulge in:
"Abba's Child" by Brennan Manning

I hope this helps my little sister....with love from our dear Abba (daddy), Lauren

I have panic attacks so I can relate, God has helped me through this many times but I also take medication, I use to use alot of wrong tactics to stop these things like drinking ect and it only makes things worse but I thought seeking help would be saying I was crazy, God can deliver you from this and I know he can me too but I am still working on getting back into church and stuff right now but I know he is real, I will not take anti-depressent drugs as they make things worse too in my opinion because it is not a depression it is an overwhelming feeling of panic and fear and what I use to control this is the same thing they use to treal epelipsy an ati-convultant called Klonopin, but true freedom comes from God and you can still seek God and get medical help also, some may disagree with this and you got to make your on dicission on this one but I do know what they are like and actually if you watch preachers on TV Rod Parsley use to suffer from this and God set him free of it and he tells of his experience from time to time and he is a really compassionate preacher and great to listen to.
Seek the Lord on what to do and I also have found that one of the best ways to deal with this is by getting out and helping other people you would be amazed at how much it actually helps you keep busy and keep your mind occupied with good things as panic episode are usually triggered by bad thoughts.
Praise God everytime you feel it happening no matter how bad you feel and just keep thanking him for everything you can think of and before you know it you will feel overflowing with Joy and that feeling of panic and fear will be gone and the more you do this the stronger you become, I know from experience and the best time to praise God is when you dont feel like it or want to and this done wonders for me but unfortionately I wonder from God and now I got to try to get back because when I fell instead of getting back up and dusting my self off I let the feeling of failure take over and just went back to my old ways so dont give up and if you make a mistake ask forgiveness and keep on going I realize where I went wrong so dont let it happen to you and just keep praising him and watch what happens.
