HI,
I have had a few panic attacks in the past and there is NOTHING worse than them. I am an overly alert/aware hyperactive sort of person, so I accumulate stress easily.
I recently started to have the awareness that we think we are in control, but control is up to the universe. Our minds create the illusion we are in control and that we are somehow independent from everything else (which also creates many evils in this world such as prejudice and violence) and therefore if we realize we are not in control we are actually coming into harmony with existence itself. It may seem scary to think we are not in control, but really it is the most peaceful realization because you do not have to do anything but let yourself go, knowing that whatever happens is just part of the order of the universe.
There is a free book online that really helped me with this realization. It is on Truth Contest and it is the entry called "the present"
I also like Eckhart TOlle books so maybe try those.
