How to Manage Panic Attacks
How would I be able to control a panic attack as I feel it happening? I'm always terrified that I'll freak out in public and embarrass myself.
@resourcefulPlum9773 in my experience, there's no "easiest" way to handle a panic attack on your own. But whenever i'm in that situation, first thing i do is I try to remove myself from others/crowded spaces. I find it easier to focus on myself without the input of others - even if they're trying to help, most of the time it stresses me out. Once i have my space, however generic it sounds, I just close my eyes and take as many deep breaths as I can. Sometimes, I snap out of it and get right back into panic-mode, but eventually, if i keep trying, I can find my cool. Once you've physically calmed down, it becomes easier to rationalize with your thoughts. Hope this helps!!!
