Prevent Your Next Panic Attack - Stop Your Panic Attack Dead In Its Tracks
What is a Panic Attack?
A panic attack is a sudden feeling of intense fear that begins for no apparent reason and triggers severe physical reactions. You may feel frightened to leave your house or to be left alone in case something awful might happen to you. You may feel suffocated, shaking, stomach pain and muscle pain all over your body. You may thing you are losing your mind, or even dying.
When a panic attack Turns Into a Panic Disorder
After having these panic attacks the first few times, you start to be afraid of the next panic attack. You may find yourself on guard all the time, afraid of the next surprise panic attack. Just the idea of having another painful fear is paralyzing you. Who can you trust? Are you alone feeling like this? Are you going crazy? Are you dying? Panic disorder is a living hell. The good news is that you shouldn't believe anyone that tells you that this condition can not be cured.
What NOT TO DO to Prevent Your Next Panic Attack
Most people, in an attempt to prevent panic attacks, try to avoid situations that trigger them. Any place that makes them feel unsafe, they avoid. This is not the way to go - this only gets them occupied and even more focused on the next panic attack. This only leads to greater fear and the problem gets worse.

panic attacks are caused by many physical, mental and emotional triggers. Sometimes genetics are involved and this may surprise you - but did you know that even certain allergies and food types can trigger anxiety and panic attacks? There are also a few medications that can cause panic attacks and of course there are memories and trauma involved. Upsetting everyday events and bad memories combines can also cause panic attacks

First date to a movie, and what to do?
Please help, I'm in a panic.
Any advices or suggestions will be appreciated.
So, there is a guy I like (He's the first guy I ever liked by the way) and we are both 17.
He is super shy, and yes I am extremely shy as well, but I REALLY like him so I decided to randomly ask him to a movie online. I didn't think he would say yes, otherwise I would have asked in person, but it's too late now. He said yes. I'm happy enough to die, even though it is just 'hanging out with one of many classmates, who suddenly asked me to a movie' to him. I didn't say "going out with me" so it might not be anything like dating to him.
But it wasn't the end. I need to think about what I'm going to do on Sunday.
Basically we meet, bus to a theater (it takes about an hour) and watch a movie.
I should be alright while we are both watching movie but I've got no idea what to do before and after?
I feel sooo nervous when he's around me (ie. when he's within 2m distance) no matter we are talking to each other or not. I even shake a little actually. It's bad, I know.
And what am I supposed to talk about? I'm not good at talking (actually, bad at talking) and he's a quiet guy. I can imagine we saying "It was a good movie, wasn't it?" "yeah." "......."
I'm afraid that we'll end up in silence!
Also is there anything to do or not to do?
I'm planning to wear what I normally wear to school and no make ups (I don't make up at all so it's better to stay as I am than do something new and fail, I guess), is that ok? Should I wear at least mascara or something?

Is it normal to react this way?
When I watch scary movies I always freak out, like my brother has just started watching Paranormal Activity and before it even started I started crying and hyperventilating. That's really embarrassing because I'm 16 but I can't help it. I've never actually seen a real horror movie but I get scared by movies made for kids and violent movies. I know it's normal to get a little bit scared sometimes but do people panic like I do? Like when I saw the Hunger Games I was so scared and I couldn't stop shivering but it's not supposed to be scary. It's like when I watch movies, I know it's not real, but my mind convinces me that it is and I always feel like I'm in the movie or something. What can I do about this and is it normal? All my friends laugh at me and think I'm ridiculous because they can just sit through a scary movie and laugh at all the gore or creepy stuff, but I cry.
