It is absolutely dependent on the person. Some people can have them more than once a day to others only having 1 in their lifetime.

There is no 'usually', it varies for every different person and their condition. Some might have an attack twice a day while others might have two a year. Everybody is different.

It is honestly on a person to person basis, different things can trigger anxiety attacks so it really boils down to the situation.

Everyone is different and there is no answer to how many times someone may have a panic attack. The best thing to do is to try to learn your triggers and keep track of what is happening in your life. Learn some coping skills and don't be afraid to reach out for professional help! You are not alone in this!

Anxiety attacks frequency depend on person to person and from situation to situation. When we find ourselves experiencing lots of anxiety attacks this is when we know we need to gain control again. Anxiety attack form because of a vicious anxiety cycle that hasn’t been broken yet. It can be difficult to break it but important to allow yourself to gain control. Instead of worrying about having another anxiety attack we can say to ourselves “ it is okay to feel anxious I am in control I can overcome this “ more often this can actually make us feel less anxious and break the anxious cycle because of the positive affirmation.

It can be very frequent or may not be.
It usually depends on the situation.
I have seen instances when people get anxiety attacks 3-4 times to instances where people don't get it even once in the entire month.

It depends on the person. Some people get them everyday some get them once a year. Usually it depends on what gives them anxiety for example if someone gets panick attacks all the time maybe it is because the color orange makes them terrified and if they see that color a lot they get a lot of panick attacks.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
