How can you stop anxiety attacks?

A good way is to stop and breathe slowly in and out. Tell yourself that it's just a moment in time and it will pass. That seems to help me. Also distracting yourself with a funny video or by going for a walk outside can help as well.

The best to stop a panic attack is to not think of having one. Keep telling yourself you wont have a panic attack. Also talking about why you are getting this anxiety attacks is a great first step to finding the root of the problem.

It really depends on the level of the panic attack and the things it effects. try finding things that calm you and make you feel safe.

By breathing slowly and taking yourself out of the situation that caused you to have it. Take slow, deep breaths and clear your mind.

There's a broad spectum of coping mechanisms for preventing, delaying, and managing anxietyattacks. Ranging from "Avoiding stressful situations as much as possible", to "Regular execise to increase endurance and lower blood pressure", to "Taking deep, calm regular breaths to calm you down", to "Counting slowly to 50 to allow time to pass and anxiety with it", to "medication", to home remedies like "Anise, mint tea, baboong".....etc Good luck :)

It's different for each person because we are all unique, but I overcame my anxiety attacks in several ways. I did all the breathing stuff that people always suggest, and that definitely did help, but what really helped me in my specific was that I started becoming more confident in myself and I kind of told and convinced myself that I wasn't scared anymore, and after a while, it worked.

keep calm and focus on one thing that you like to do the most.either listen to some good music.go on a walk.talk to someone who understands you better

When I have an anxiety attack, I try to talk to someone who understands and can help. What really helps is when someone does these breathing exercises with me. I also try to distract myself by reading, nothing triggering, or watching a series, film or funny video, again, nothing triggering!

I've been suffering from the occasional anxiety attack since 2013. Anxiety attacks are among the most terrifying things a person can go through, so to feel overwhelmed and helpless, even fearful in regard to them is completely normal. The best thing you can do to stop an anxiety attack is to follow the same rules you'd follow for falling into quicksand. 1) Don't fight it. Trying to struggle against the pull of quicksand only makes it worse. Same goes for anxiety attacks. To try and force yourself to calm down only compounds the stress and anxiety, making you sink deeper. Instead, recognize that you are having an anxiety attack and get ready for step two. 2) Search for a vine or a branch. After you've stopped flailing and fighting against the quicksand, you need to find something to help you pull yourself out. In the case of anxiety attacks, your branch could be a favorite song, a favorite movie, a stuffed animal you love, a real animal you love, or a good old fashioned person who's willing to listen to you. Or your branch could be all of these things. Or your branch could be a literal branch if you're into that sort of thing. Whatever it is, just keep reaching for that branch and before you know it, you'll be out of that quicksand and back safely on solid ground.

Just focus on your breathing and realise that it will pass. Don't panic further and make it worse. Relax

What works for me personally,Is to stop for a minute,take long breaths and find out what is causing it,and ask yourself,but is that realistic?.When i was at an therapist he recomennded me this method,to i could stop it before it really hit me hard.

Some ways to stop anxiety attacks are controlling your breathing and focusing on that, telling yourself that you are going to be okay while controlling your breathing, and talking to your doctor about a medication whether that be preventative or situation.

If you feel an anxiety beginning, it is important to calm yourself down as much as you can. Sit yourself comfortably, take deep breaths and just relax. If possible, have someone with you to keep you safe incase anything happens and to help with anything you need. Drinking water is important as it keeps you hydrated and can prevent you feeling faint. The main solution however, would be to just keep yourself calm and relaxed, and the attack should slowly ease off.

Anxiety attacks can't necessarily be stopped, but by being aware of your surroundings and your emotions you can attempt to remove yourself from an anxiety-inducing situation before an anxiety attack occurs. Medication is also an option.

Concentrating on your breathing is the best way to start when you are felling anxiety or having an attack. Mindfulness exercises and meditation does wonders. Breathe in slowly through your nose and into your belly.This sends a soothing signal to your brain. Then exhale slowly through your mouth. This will help calm you. Focus on your breathing and nothing else.

Stop. Breath. Focus. Take time to consider what has triggered the attack. Remind yourself that this too shall pass. Whatever is happening is not permanent and you will survive this. The world may seem like it's crashing down, but if you recognize what is happening and accept it you can move forward. Find a way to focus. Make sure you a breathing. Find five things you can see, four things you can hear, three things you can smell, two you can touch and one you can taste.

Breathing is very powerful. Try to focus on deep belly breathing, put your entire focus on controlling your breathing and when the thoughts try to go back to why you should panick, redirect them back to deep belly breathing for several minutes until you feel better. Takes focus but is powerful!

You can stop anxiety attacks, in my own opinion, by having what I call an "Emergency Squishy". Which is like a stress ball, essentially, but it can be anything you can grip onto without breaking. I usually take mine everywhere because attacks can happen out of nowhere, I understand, so when I feel like one could pop up, I take it out and squeeeeeeze it til I'm better! :)

the main thing you can control is your breathing. try the 4 7 8 breathing technique. in for four seconds hold it for seven seconds and out for eight seconds. repeat.

Find what works best for you and try pin point your triggers. Deep breathing can be effective, distraction techniques and changing your thoughts can assist

I get this... i cant stop shaking and i cant see clearly. I cant hear or think. Its terifying to be honest. im sorry but i have no advice for you. Does anyone have any for me? x

By identifying the trigger that causes anxiety and taking control of it, for example if any of the habit of your loved ones causes anxiety among you, you should communicate it with him rather than suppres it.

Preventative measures are the best way to address anxiety. By practicing mindfulness, for example, you will be more aware of when an anxiety attack is about to occur, and thus can avoid it sooner. If you are already experiencing an attack, deep breathing is a very effective method to ease your anxiety. If you are able, pause what you are doing, close your eyes, and take deep breaths, each one deeper than the last, counting as you go. Peace, Devin

Try taking a deep breath in, tensing all of the muscles in your body at the same time. Hold it for 5 seconds, and then as you exhale and relax your body, picture yourself blowing out the anxiety/emotional tension. Keep doing this until you're calmer. You can also try Progressive Muscle Relaxation tapes on youtube to try and calm down. Allow yourself to have the panic attack-- otherwise, it will get a lot worse.

Searching for distractions! Whether it be a game, or by having someone talk to me- anything to keep my mind off my current state and the lowness that I'm feeling!

Understand what starts them and know what helps you best. When you feel it coming on start taking deep breaths and let yourself know you can control and stop it from getting worse!

Personally I try grounding myself for a sense of reality. I look for what i can see, hear, feel, etc. Also, stress toys are amazing!

Breathe and go on 7cups! Its helps to talk to someone and its even better that you can't see them, because some people can get social anxiety that way!

1) Learn to manage what is causing your anxiety - are you avoiding some sort of responsibility? at work? at school? in a relationship? at home? what are you desperately trying to escape from?? Try and list everything out. 2) Make routine exercise and routine sleep a top priority - these will help you not only increase the endorphins in your body, and help you to be comfortable with a faster heart rate in the context of a safe environment (I recommend at least one period of high intensity exercise per week, and two to three periods of low intensity exercise per week, totally no less than three hours of exercise, weekly!), but the routine sleep will help you stabilize the chemicals in your brain, while keeping your day somewhat in a comfortable routine. Set aside all your distractions, and aim for 7~9 hours per night, and no less than 6 hours on any given day, no matter what! 3) Eat a healthy, nutritious diet - cut out on junk food more than once per week! 4) Reduce alcohol and coffee intake - depending on how severe your anxiety is. These things are only minor refinements, and I suggest completely stopping your intake of these drinks if you are extremely prone to anxiety, as they have immediate impacts on your brain chemicals, your ability to think and rationalize, and your heart rate. 5) Breathe - learn methods of deep breathing. When you feel your heart beating, learn the 4-7-8 method of breathing. Inhale for four counts, hold your breath for seven counts, and exhale deeply (and loudly) for eight counts. Repeat this for 2~3 minutes or as long as you desire until you feel comfortable. My general tip is to learn to continue with what you are doing (work, or whatever) as you are breathing, and do not be afraid to stop though, if you need to.
