How do I stop my panic attacks.
whenever I feel pressure or in a confronting situation or when I eel very embarrassed I freak out and often pass out.
it's really embarrassing where it happened at work when my boss was telling me off about something.
Now I feel like I'm a real pussy. and everyone sees me as such that I can't handle a bit of confrontation
Like I don't want my boss to feel like they have to treat me differently cos of it. they were just being firm about something I fucked up on. wasn't being a cunt about it or nothing. but I ended up passing out from anxiety.
Is there a way to stop this shit. like my mind was just taking it and it honestly wasn't bothering me that much. its just that my body was physically giving to anxiety.

Go to a psychiatrist.
Meds and therapy. That's the only way I got past my panic attacks.

You're passing out because you're hyperventilating. Whenever you're in a situation where you start to feel like a panic attack might arise, just remember to breath steadily. Also concentrate on breathing correctly with your diaphragm, not with your chest. When a person inhales, the chest should never move, only your stomach.
I personally hold my hand on my upper stomach when I start to feel light heated from a panic attack and feel my tummy moving with every exhale and inhale I take. I remind myself that this is my body's natural reaction to a wrong situation, and that it will be gone within 10-30minutes.
This can be fixed with therapy. I wouldn't recommend meds.

see a therapist asap, and see if you can get some medication. you'll probably get a script for xanax given the nature of your anxiety
