How Can I Not Have A Panic Attack?

i’ve suffered from manic depression,severe anxiety, OCD,and post traumatic stress disorder for quiet some time now. the level of management varies from day to day. some days im ok, others, not so much. i am really anal when it comes to change. everything in my house has to be just so. ive lived here for over a year and very little has changed as far as the configuration of my furniture goes. i cant stand for things to be moved around. i am comfortable with the way they are and dread having to change. today i had to move my bedroom furniture around because of structural changes done to the room. im on the verge of having a panic attack because of this.i cant see myself sleeping in the bed where it is, i worry about having my bed facing a window, and other things. how can i get over this? how can i not panic about this? im really worried because i feel the attack coming on.

    Man I just put a question out there myself for my severe anxeity and ocd. I feel everything that u r saying. I hate change. I just shaved my head and it took me 30 mins to get started even tho I wanted too and knew it would look better I hated the feeling of once its gone I can’t have it back. Then I freak. I want to run somewhere I feel with no where to go. I had to reset my odometer today to gauge the mileage and it killed me to hit the reset button. Cuz it was way up to 900 something. I don’t know why I feel this way about everything. I wish everything could stay the same. But we can’t be afraid. We have to change these things and soon enough we won’t dwell as much on them and they will become normal. As far as my anxeity goes I’m not recommending this but the only thing that keeps my attacks away. That is full blown attacks is the fact I used to drink beer. And they would go right away. I quit drinking a year ago but I keep them on hand. If I know I have one in there when I start panicing I think well if it got bad enough ill down one and be ok and then the feelings subside for a lil bit. But this disorder is nuts. I need meds but I’m too scared to put anything in my body that I can’t get out or that will nake me feel different. If u tried any meds will u email me the good and bad?

    Take a deep breath. Relax thing about something that made you smile when you were a little kid. Or just think about anything that can make you happy. I get panic attacks all the time. I know they suck a lot. But what I said earlier usually helps me. I think about my boyfriend. He keeps me sane :)
