The problem though is that anxiety is something which becomes an automatic part of your thinking patterns. To cure it, you have to close old neural pathways and create new ones to automatically reject your old ways of thinking. It takes a lot of time, dedication and repetition - but it's something you absolutely must do to reclaim your life.

I hope i helped. Good luck!
The cause of most panic attacks is not clear, so treatment may be different for each person. Typically, it involves psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, or medication. Alternative treatments like meditation and relaxation therapy are often used to help relax the body and relieve anxiety.
Psychotherapy offers support and helps to minimize the fearfulness of symptoms, and sometimes is sufficient to clear up the disorder. Recurrent attacks, however, require additional measures.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps people learn to deal with panic symptoms, using techniques like muscle and breathing relaxation. They also gain reassurance that panic will not lead to the catastrophic events they fear, since many people fear they are having a heart attack.
Antidepressants, such as Tofranil, often help reduce anxiety and the frequency and severity of panic attacks. Even more frequently used medications are the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs, such as Prozac, Paxil, Celexa, Lexapro and Zoloft). This group of medications is often considered the first line of treatment for panic disorders. Often, anti-anxiety medications such as Xanax, Klonopin and Ativan are provided at least in the beginning of medical therapy.
Important note regarding medications: Some of these drugs can actually produce the anxiety symptoms of a panic attack. It is often best to start with a low dose and slowly increase medication for this disorder.
How Can I Prevent Them?
You can take steps to lessen the chance of attacks and learn to manage them better. Learn to recognize a panic attack. When you sense the first symptoms, know that other symptoms may follow. You have survived them before and can do so again. Try slow, deep breaths.
Take your time. It's important not to hope for a quick cure. Therapy takes time, and improvement comes in small steps.
Go easy on yourself. People who feel panic tend to be overly critical of themselves.
Learn to lower your level of everyday anxiety through a variety of techniques, including meditation and exercise.
Avoid stimulants, such as nicotine and caffeine, which can be found not only in coffee, but many teas, colas and chocolate.

You need to also mix and live with people of your own age, and dont be frightened to mix that up with girls too.
Change living arangements till you meet peole you fit in with and it should be a multiple house so theres lots of experience and people for you to get to know, and for you to start being yourself and come out of your shell. Slowly, you will build confidence.

I started seeing a social worker first but that didn't really help me. I found a book that helped me so much. In fact, I haven't had a panic attack in quite a while now.
The book is called, "From Panic to Power". It's by Lucinda Bassett. All I did was read the book and it helped me so much.
I hope this helps you because I know what you are going through. Hang in there, it will get better. Maybe you can find a support group on the Internet or in real life. I wish you the best.
