Please help, will my panic attacks go away?

[Sammycool]

Please help. I'm just started having panic attacks and severe anxiety and depression. This is triggered by the responsibility of getting a new dog and after a week of having the dog our beloved cat broke her leg and had to have it amputated. Our vet is very pessimistic of how well the introduction between dog and cat will go.

I feel overwhelming guilt but I'm also feeling overwhelmed with life. Every morning I have a panic attack, I spent all of yesterday in bed, I feel like even the littlest tasks overwhelm me and like I can't parent my daughters any more.

I don't usually feel like this. I'm scared this feeling will never go away. Can someone tell me - is this like a switch that can't be turned off again? Will I feel like this forever unless the situation changes? I'm thinking we will have to rehome the dog in order for these terrible feelings to go. But what if they never go? If we keep the dog will I continue to be like this?

I'd also like to know where do I go for help with this? When I'm at my worst I feel like walking out on my life.

Yes they can, i met a person I used to work with that had it for a while and they went a way he said he even forgot how they felt.
He also would smoke weed which can trigger it anyways he said he doesn't have them anymore I once to didn't have it but idk know why after my last girlfriend after the one I've been with now for the past 6 year I'm 24 by the way they came back after about a couple months it's possible to get better I've been doing so drug free sine my mom didn't want me to get hooked on that stuff from a young age. I'm new bout to start my welcome thread maybe help others put some since I've used to be a lot worse...

For sure you can overcome panic attacks. You need to work hard together with a psychologist. I keep recommending CBT because I have seen some great results by using these techniques.
