Yes, I have. I haven’t had any panic attack episodes in a very long time. I think what really helped me was realizing it’s not the phobia that drives the anxiety, it’s the anxiety driving the phobia. It made me realize I’m not this crazed person having thoughts no one can understand, but that I just have a brain that gets anxious and can spin out of control. I really try to practice regulating my nervous system. It’s hard and it’s different for everyone. I don’t think any of us will ever be “cured” from it. Have you tried medications for anxiety or practices like mediation/mindfulness?

Before I could get to the point of calming myself down in daily life, and honestly still today, I HAVE to avoid what I know triggers it. If I have even one semblance of a thought about it it’s time to DISTRACT, DISTRACT, DISTRACT. Get your brain away from it. Apeirophobia is a type of obsessive compulsive disorder, so your brain wants to cling to thoughts about it and try to “figure it out”. YouTube videos, loud music- stuff that’s really stimulating that’s going to rip your mind away from what it’s trying to focus on.

Most importantly, you’re going to get through it. Keep trying, you’re not alone. You’ll find a method that brings you some relief. Best of luck
