How can I hide an anxiety attack?

There are a few steps you can take during an anxiety attack episode: 1. Breathe: as simple as that sounds, just breathe. Deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. 2. Find a quiet place to sit (if possible): go to the rest room, sit with your head between your knees and breathe in and out for a few seconds. 3. Calm yourself: tell yourself that it's going to be okay, it might not feel that way now, but it will. Tell yourself that it's okay to feel scared, but it's not necessary. 4. Tell a family member or friend that you are having an attack, for additional support Please, if these attacks are frequent and interfering with everyday life, consider seeing a therapist or counsellor for support. Remember: You are okay, you are enough, you are perfect in your imperfections, you are strong and you are courageous.

Often times others can not tell when you are having an anxiety attack. In the middle of an anxiety attack it doesn't feel that way, but unless we are fainting or speaking about it, our panic is often a subjective experience - one that remains invisible to those outside of us. If you are really concerned, you can always step outside and go for a walk, or go to a restroom. Privacy can be calming. However, I believe that trying to hide an anxiety attack is unnecessary. Most people will not be able to tell. Even if someone could recognize the signs, chances are they would want to help you rather than ridicule you.

There is no way to hide them, but there are ways to slow them. Count your breaths, name every blue item in the room, list off three things you can hear, see, feel or even smell. Never be afraid to seek the help of those around you as well.

Hiding it wouldn't be a good idea because of so different psychological reasons but if you really want to hide it then try to be relax. Breathe in your nose and exhale through your mouth and this will help relax you and what I do sometimes is that I listen to music and or shake my hands while at it and this will create a diversion from your attack.

Take deep breaths and go to a calm place. If you are in a room with some colleagues or friends, excuse yourself to the restroom. Find a place for a couple of moments where you can center yourself and regain focus.

I've had a lot of experiences where I wished I knew the answer to this question! It's terrifying to think about having an anxiety attack, where you feel out of control and like everything is crashing down around you--and having one in public makes the anxiety seem to be almost three times worse! I've learned a few tricks that work for me: Grounding, where you place your hands on something solid like a table or your thighs, and the quick bathroom escape. My old therapist had some other ideas she was going to share with me, but things happened and I had to stop seeing her.

Hiding might not be the answer as it might make the anxiety worse. However, simply excusing yourself and going somewhere quiet and less crowded might benefit you more. Remember to breathe! For me, writing down my thoughts in a journal is enough to occupy my mind and to help me calm down when I have no one to reach out to; it all depends on what works best for you. You can even try different methods each time. Just remember that anxiety is an attack on the body from the brain. We feel as if we need to "fight" or "flee" when in reality, we're perfectly safe. It's an inner battle that although we might not be able to cure it, we can learn ways to better manage the anxiety.

You can hide your anxiety attack by going elsewhere when it happens and coping with it on your own too.

If possible, try to politely excuse yourself to a more private location where you can cry and panic in privacy. If your unable to do that, try to take deep breathes, and try and distract yourself from whatever is causing the anxiety attack. If a certain situation causes an attack, don't be ashamed if you want to remove yourself from that situation, your safety and mental health matters a lot
