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!!

How do you stop panicking?
I don't have panic attacks at this moment, but i realized if i will have again I don't know how to stop it, there's people who say "trying to stop it feeds more" and that's why i get stuck with it cause then i try to sit with it and i just get stuck or go with the panic. Many times when i try to stop feeding itit gets worse, i think that im doing something wrong or i just feel like it does not work cause when i try to stop the panic gets stronger, then im panicking over do I take the danger seriously. I try deep breathing and moving my attention but i know i do that to avoid the panic which makes me panic more. And then i feel angry cause people say "sit with it" and i dont know what they mean, like everytime i get a panic just accept defeat, lay down and wait till all the symptoms just goes away... cause you cant control it. So if i want to face it, accept i might faint, vomit, get taken to the hospital, and just face it. These are the more negative ones I know, but even with others i feel like its defeat cause I have to stop whatever i do and i need to accept that panic will take me wherever it wants... Im open to change my opinion over this, but with the "accept it" menthod i feel like it looks like this and thats why I don't like it. How do you deal with panic? Do you stop it or you always give that moment to the panic?
