I take meds for my panic attacks, Did i fail as a human to take them?

i take meds for panic attacks but i still get them! anyway i feel bad that i didn%26#039;t conquer them on my own and in my culture it is not looked good to take something that i should take care of on my own. But they are really bad that i can%26#039;t even work.

No, you did an admirable thing by taking responsibility for your illness and treating it. But if you%26#039;re interested in conquering your panic attacks for good and in a way that will possibly make you respect yourself even more, you should consider exposure therapy. It%26#039;s very effective for panic attacks and often eliminates them completely, even in severe cases. I apologize if you%26#039;ve heard this before, but:

Exposure therapy is a treatment that involves, as you might expect, exposing you to the problem symptom in a safe setting so it can be treated. With the help of a behavioral psychiatrist or psychologist, you first imagine a panic attack and tell yourself, %26quot;I%26#039;m not dying, I%26#039;m not having a heart attack, my heart is beating fast so I%26#039;m not going to faint...%26quot; etc. Eventually, you might even (now don%26#039;t freak out) INDUCE a panic attack in your therapist%26#039;s office, and see how you can calm yourself on your own!

Try it if you haven%26#039;t already, and I think you%26#039;ll be happy with the results.
