After i'm now acutely aware of how fragile and precarious my life actually is. It took me years to come to grips with the fact that I could die at literally any moment. It's some seriously scary shit to truly and sincerely come face to face with one's own mortality. It's one thing to say or think about it, but nothing compares to actually understanding it.
I think that's what changed my personality the most. I've tried to get more out of life, been more "alive" since my panic attack happened. I used to cruise through life blissfully unaware, like I had all the time in the world. Now I treat every day like it's my last.
