5 Tips On How To Stay Calm During An Attack Of Any Sort
Tip 1: Make sure you stay hydrated, especially if youve been crying a lot. Drink A LOT of water!
Tip 2: Breathe in through your nose and hold it for 5 seconds, the let it out slowly.
Tip 3: Find your comfort item, or comfort friend. Talking to someone and letting things out will help make you less tense.
Tip 4: Dont try to nap or sleep on it, youll feel like 10 times worse than you do already. Im not telling you to exercise, but try to do something productive, like writing or drawing, singing maybe.
Tip 5: Remember that its okay to not be okay. You dont have to pull yourself together for any reason.
@thekingskylark Very useful tips, thank you for posting :)
@thekingskylark This can't be applied to all attacks. Some of these things could be harmful for some attacks.
@AffyAvo Thank you, I'll do further research.
I love this forum because we can share "tips" that may have helped us or others that may be going through something similar. Of course, not very person's tip will help everyone in every situation. We are all just "swimming to the other side" - no one has all the answers; but I appreciate the sharing of ideas and everyone can use whatever helps them and leave the rest.
So helpful, thanks
My opinion on how to stay calm during a panick attack and after care. May not work for everyone as everyone is individual as it every panic attack :)
1. Focus on a spot in the room you are in and breathe in for 4 and then breathe out for 5.
2. If you can sit down or lie down do and give your body a rest.
3. If you have a friends you are with and they understand what you are going through, let them help you.
4 When you feel up to it grab a glass of water( or just a drink) and sip it slowly.
5. Go into a bathroom if you can and freshen up , splash water on your face and wash your hands :)
6. Relax your body has been through a lot! Sit and watch a movie ,your favourite TV program or read a book :)
7. Remember that you survived and that you are strong. You can do anything 😃
