Just remember that it'll pass. You'll be fine. I've been going through this for a long time on and off. It is just how you're thinking ... if you can divert them thoughts then you wouldn't have the attacks. Tell yourself every time that you have a scary thought to stop and be persistant. No matter what ... stop! It might not work at first but eventually you'll start retraining yourself to stop at that point. Remember that the attack isn't going to hurt you. Think of it as a wave hitting you, relax and let it pass through. Believe this and practice it every time ... it won't hurt you.
