The best advice I’ve ever gotten for panic attacks is to let it happen. I know that everything inside you wants to make it stop but just take some deep breaths and tell yourself “I’m having a panic attack and that’s okay”. Remember that panic attacks aren’t dangerous and they always subside. Try some different deep breathing and grounding techniques. I hope you’re feeling better now, and I hope this helps

I hope you’re not still in it ❤️ In my experience it’s best to not try to fight it so much. Let it be and sit with it. Let time pass and the attack pass with it. It can feel so painful and all we want to do when an attack comes on is to try to push it away but oftentimes I find the more I push it down the more it grows. Maybe you can call someone who can just sit with you even if just over the phone.

something ive learned is that its a lot easier to calm yourself physically than mentally. if your mind is a mess its really hard to calm your mind with your mind. however, by controlling your breath, youre forcing your body into a calm state which automatically calms your mind as well. its a lot easier than trying to reason with your mind. i hope this made sense and that it will help you in the future!!

i’m currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i don’t know why. i’ve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know i’m not going to get sick but i’m just really panicked and cannot calm down. i’m currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and it’s only making it worse but i don’t know why. i just don’t want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i don’t know why i’m so scared. it just feels like it’s never going to go away.
