Dealing with the emotional side of an anxiety attack?

Hiya, I'm new to this site and decided to post after I had a panic attack about 3 weeks ago, the reason I'm posting now is not because I feel afraid of another panic attack, I don't think I'll have one again.

Its because of the emotional impact that one panic attack had on me. All of the friends and family have told me they think that my panic attack was triggered by emotional problems (oh and as a teenager believe me they exist, though I no more then average and I never thought I'ld have a panic attack over them >.< ).

So anyway, during my panic attack I felt terrible despair and the norm, the anxiety I'm not worried about because the only recurring anxiety is caused by the fact that during my panic attack it felt like I lost a little bit of myself, my soul you might say, I've also had the feeling that theres an empty hollow in my lower chest near my stomach area. It was cuppled with the feeling that nothing was right and ever would be again. That feeling keeps coming back, its indescribably horrible and I have found myself very emotional, crying randomly for no apparant reason, since I've had the attack with that emotion of despair.

The anxiety seems to have faded but the emotional side products are terrible. I would really like some advise or help from people who have suffered this before and who can give me some firsthand help on getting rid of this, I would like to feel better again.

Thanks in advance.
