It varies from person to person. To each person triggers can be different, so there's not one right answer to this question.

Usually anxiety attacks can range from how frequent they are just based on the person. You can have several a day if you are in a stressful environment or you can last months or years without them if you can figure out a way to control it.

I experience them anywhere from three times in an hour to twice a week to even once a month. It really depends on where I'm at.

It varies with every person. It could be just from a trigger. It could be at certain places, times, etc. The best thing to do is identify your triggers so you can face them/ avoid them until you can face them.

It depends on the person, and their reasons for anxiety attacks. I have them almost once a week. But other may have them once a month. Some may have them everyday. Some may only have them when under extreme anxiety. It all depends on the person.

It depends on how well you can identify and avoid triggers. Which gets better with time. Having someone to talk to about it helps too.

It depends on each person. Some people can have panic attacks every day whereas other people can have panic attacks only once every few weeks. I can't tell you about everyone, since everyone experiences things differently, but from experience, my panic attacks used to occur twice/three times a week before I went to therapy, and then less then once a week after. I had some friends who also experienced panic attacks around two times.
Hope this helps.

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?
