How do you help someone having panic attacks?

Posted Apr 14 2010 7:23pm

I know someone who has been having panic attacks for 2 weeks now! They have already been to the doctor and diagnosed now I guess it’s just a waiting game for the meds to kick in. Anyway since they have been having them she doesn’t want to be alone. If she is for the smallest amount of time then she freaks out. Should someone always be there with her or should she be better off getting over it herself? She feels as though she CONSTANTLY needs someone there during the day! Is this even normal for a panic attack?

mine used to be triggered by loud noises, and yelling.
i immediately felt safe every time i went into a hospital, and i went to the clinic so many times they eventually banned me from going there because they couldn’t help me.
i’d say get her to go outside, mine just eventually went away as i grew older. If she doesnt want to be alone, dont let her be alone! Get one of her friends to come over… family… it will go away, trust me. Yeah I’d say it’s normal.
