Hi Kevin! One of those Godly coincidences, I happen to be preparing a page on panic disorder for my other site. Here's a segment you might find useful:
"Panic Disorder Self Help: Nothing can replace a good diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, regular exercise and regular sleep, as self-help steps for panic disorder. Also, practice mental imagery of relaxing and calming situations, so, if a panic attack happens, you'll be ready to use these relaxing thoughts to alter your feelings. At first, this may seem silly or useless. You feel like you're dying, and this online idiot says to think happy thoughts. Once you know panic disorder is something that happens in your mind, you know you'll have to fight it in your mind. 2,000 years ago, a guy named Saul of Tarsus wrote that you could achieve a peace beyond all understanding by thinking uplifting, noble, praiseworthy and good thoughts. More recently, some guy in a white jacket copied his idea and called it cognitive therapy. Whether you want to call it religion or science...it has worked for thousands of years."
The Scripture I'm referring to there is in Php 4. If this continues, please see a doctor. There are some physical causes of panic he can test for and relieve the condition. If it is truly panic disorder, medication in addition to the above should relieve it. We're praying!
