What can I do to calm down and relax in public situations?

I do what's called the "grounding technique." As one who has suffered through anxiety and panic attacks before, I have personally used it and it worked for me. I've been told by several drs and therapists that anxiety/worry is a condition of the past/future respective and bringing oneself into the present helps eliminate those symptoms. Find something you can touch and identify it to yourself. Find something you can see and ID it. Same with a sound, a scent, and a taste.

Breathe. Breathe, breathe and breathe. Take a look at your surroundings, maintain your focus and breathe. In and out. Just breathe. It will take some time for this technique to work but it does. Breathe

Whenever I get anxious in public I find it helpful to just step away for a few seconds, try to find a place less crowded, away from the situation making you nervous. I usually keep a pair of headphones in my pocket, so being able to step into a different place and listen to a song or two is very helpful.

In public situations, turn your focus towards others and focus on some inanimate object like a shoe or a chair when you feel the anxiety starts building up.

count your breaths and you can also do grounding exercises, 5 things you see, 5 you can touch, 5 you can hear, 5 you can smell

Excuse yourself, go to the bathroom. Inhale to the count of 4 and exhale to the count of 6 which oxygenates your brain and keeps you relaxed

I practice yoga breathing exercices, sophrology and acupressure point relative to stress to help me get through!

Breathe. Just breathe. Breathe in and out 10 times with your eyes closed. It helps me when I have to take a test.

he five steps to overcoming panic attacks are: Acknowledge & Accept Wait & Watch (and maybe, Work) Actions (to make myself more comfortable) Repeat End

Learn methods to ground your energy down. Often this can be by wearing a hat and covering the head. There are many other means and methods. Do researching on grounding.

Take some deep breaths. You may find it difficult to breathe when you’re stressed and in a public situation, but it’s important to focus on taking long breaths. This will restore oxygen to your body, making you feel more calm and relaxed.

I find it helpful to do a sensory exercise: 5,4,3,2,1 with my senses. Example: 5 things you see 4 things you hear 3 things you feel 2 things you smell 1 thing you taste but you can mix it up any way you would like!

Something that helps me is feeling grounded, when i'm anxious my mind races, and it can be scary when you can't get away from the situation. I count things around me... so count 5 things you can see, then 5 things you can hear, and then make up your own little categories... it helps take my mind off worrying.

breath slowly in and out. Try to think of something happy and sit down or walk slowly. This helps me alot

You have to breath in and breath out slowly. Just count 1, 2, 3, in a slow way and breath in, then count again and breath out. It helped me a lot and I know that's kinds difficult to do, but that's the only way.

Step away for a few minutes from the situation. Try counting to ten and slowly breathing in and out.

Take deep breathes and picture yourself very calm, tell yourself it will pass. Try to have a one on one conversation with someone.

The thing that helps me calm down and relax in a stressful public situation is deep breathing. It is a type of yoga technique. You inhale a large breath and exhale very slowly, making the exhale last much longer than the inhale.

I use my meditation a lot when I am out of my comfort zone. I find if I breathe in my exercise while out in the public, it ease my scared and troubling thoughts, and helps me get through thsoe moments
