How do you all control your panic attacks???

Research interoceptive exposures

^yes all that! Have you tried the app called headspace? It’s guided mediations that have helped me :). You could also try splashing a little cold water on your face, or grounding techniques. Lay down and focus on 5 things you can see, then 4 things you can hear (cars outside, your fan on, etc) then 3 things you can smell, 2 things you can touch. My panic attacks got so bad at one point I researched a bunch and these things definitely helped me so I hope they help you too! Stay strong :).

Look up some breathing exercises - we don’t realize that most of the time we are taking shallow, quick breaths which causes tightness in the chest. If you take time to breath slowly and deeply, you will really feel a difference. I’ve been trying this the past week. I start to feel nauseous when I get stressed and that helps.

what do they stem from? depends on the thing

Try to take deep breaths, going outside for walks helps too. Try doing something that relaxes your body and mind.

Yeah that can all definitely help too!

I’ve been practicing accepting the feelings and watching them move in my body. While I’m doing this I feel my feet on the floor and my bum on the seat. I then practice a breathing techniques which is breath in for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds and breath out for 8 seconds and then repeat this (4x7x8 is the easy way to remember) until the intense feelings pass. I continue to do these things if the feeling returns. The most important thing for me is not to leave or avoid otherwise they get worse. I have to show myself I can handle it, which then means next time I’m in that situation I know I can get through it and eventually I don’t have panic attacks or it’s just mild anxiety which I can easily handle.

It’s just all over the place, things like school, places, overcrowded places, feeling trapped. I know the origin I just don’t know how to describe it. It’s mainly remembering my trauma and school. Breathing slowly and focusing on it helps, also putting a cold towel on my forehead also helps

Thank you all!
