How do I stop having anxiety about having panic attacks?

It can be really, really hard, but it's also doable. It also will probably take practice, so don't get discouraged if coping techniques don't work at first. If you haven't, take a look at the anxiety and panic attacks self-help guides on the site. Practice cognitive reconstruction, or breathing exercises, or relaxation techniques - whatever works best for you. For me, telling myself that I'm fine, it's just anxiety, I'm fine, actually helps. Distracting myself - especially from the physical symptoms - works well for me too. When you start to think about having a panic attack, or feel anxiety coming on, you could try distraction. Get up and walk around, talk to somebody about something else, or get engaged with a book or game or something on the internet. You can also reiterate to yourself that you are in control, and talk yourself through calming down - I do this, especially when I'm at home by myself. It might feel a little funny or stupid at first, but it can really help, and you don't run into the possibility of using distraction as avoidance (but distraction can get you relaxed enough to try something like cognitive reconstruction, since it can definitely be hard if you're already really anxious).

There is no way to completely stop it although I would recommend trying to focus on a hobby! Try to focus on it!

Make sure that you know what to do when you have a panic attack, and that people around you are aware and can help you. Then, you really don't have to worry because no matter what happens, you'll be in good hands.

There a many means to stop panic attack some involve mindful practices such as meditation, learning how to distract ourselves, living in the present and others require us to be physical active or let or other five senses help us balance the storm in our minds.

I used to be extremely afraid of not being able to sleep, I was terrified of being the only person awake in the house. Then I realized that the fear of being awake was the main thing that kept me awake in the first place. I started thinking about what would have happened if I actually wouldn't been able to sleep and the answer was: nothing would have happened. I would have survived a bad night and thats all. that helped me a lot. I think that could help you to ask yourself "what would happen if I actually had a panic attack?" what you imagine is probably worse than the reality. I say, embrace your fear, embrace even a panic attack if it's the case. you'll keep on living afterward and maybe you're going to be less afraid.

Have a plan on how to deal with them if the do occur that way you have a plan. I used to plan a breathing exercise and always carry a bottle of water that way I was less anxious because I knew that if I had a panic attack I had a plan to cope

Panic attacks have no physical capacity to last. Just know that it's temporary even if it does hit. The knife I use to stab anxiety with is asking myself this. "What is happening now?". And dwelling in it to the best of my ability. The colors. The smells. The people. Whatever is in front of me.

Take a deep breath, try and take your mind off of it. Tell somebody about your anxiety about having panic attacks and maybe they can help you deal with it and prepare for it in case you do get another panic attack.
