Has anyone ever sat through a panic attack & let it happen? I for one don't think I've ever fully experienced one. I feel it start happening & I brush it away somehow every time.. I wonder what it's like to sit through it.. Each time I say I will, the attack comes on & I forget & make it go away..

Hi Brooke yeah I have sat through panic attacks many times!
But for me my attacks get worse if I get up and try and distract them. I have had attacks that have lasted full days and the more I have tried to distract myself the worse I have got.
For me I kinda have to force myself to sit down and ride it out.
