How can I bring myself down once I have started to have a Panic Attack?

Once I start to experience a Panic Attack, it means that I am in a loop of negative thoughts,the worse case scenarios. terrible worries and gruesome images in my head. The more I focus on the the more power I give them, that is who when I start to panic I immediately, do an intervention on my focus point. Doing something physical ( drink water, focus on breathing , hug a person, splash your face with water ) or verbalize what you are thinking/ going through. For me it is important that I express the fear, that I admit that I am having a Panic Attack then I resist less and then it is over sooner. It is never easy for me to go through a panic attack , but when I do , I tell to myself : I been through this 1000 times and survived, I will survive this one as well. And I trust that I will live. If not, if I die then it is ok because I will not feel anything so it is ok. ¨ That is is short how I approach my Panic Attacks .

The thing that best helps me when I feel myself starting to have a panic attack is to focus on my breathing. It can be hard sometimes, but when I am able to breathe deeply through my nose and out my mouth, feeling the sensations in body, it gives me something else to focus on. Also, when we start to calm the body down, the mind follows suit. :) Releasing the tension in my body and muscles also helps. I do this by lying down in a quiet and/or dimly lit room, clenching individual muscles and then releasing them. The relaxation really helps. It is important to remember that no matter how bad it might feel, it will pass and you won't feel this way forever.

Ways to bring one's self down from a panic attack is practice deep breathing. Distract your mind from the fear by creating a diversion one example is to count from 100 backwards. Think of a place where you feel safe and at peace imagine that place. You can add more detail to the image that you are thinking about. This way you are focusing on the image. Keep a journal of your panic attacks and what triggered it. Which then looking back at what your fear was and what triggered it. You can look back on it and it may help you better handle your anxiety. Other things that may also help is exercise, music, cleaning, drawing and even calling a friend.

Speaking from personal experience, there's a few different things that have helped me during a panic attack, but remember that everyone is different. One thing that helped me a lot is taking deep breaths. Try breathing in for 4 seconds, holding it for 7, and breathing out for 8 seconds. Also, think of things that make you calm, like maybe a song that you like and listen to it until you feel better. Hope this helped!

I think the first thing to do when having a panic attack is to recognize it and tell yourself "I am having a panic attack". Not "I'm OK and there's nothing wrong". Acknowledge your feelings. But also know that it's OK. "I am having a panic attack right now but I will make it through it". And then start practicing a breathing exercise, slow and gentle. In through your nose, out through your mouth. Focus on your breathing and nothing else.

A lot of the time doing a hobby you enjoy or just simply sitting and reflecting on the good things that have happened in your life can be good for bringing yourself down from a panic attack. Just let yourself have a moment for you. Step aside and take a deep breath.

Try breathing deeply. Do it 10 second increments. Also try to think of calming thoughts. If you are in a public area, make sure there are people who will help you

I like to use a grounding technique. I take some deep breaths and focus on my five senses - taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight - and try to list 3-5 things I can sense.

once signs of a panic attack occur, there are a number of things you can do. firstly try and continue what youre currently doing and that can help get rid of of the anxious feelings, if that fails then i find trying to positively assure myself that i am in no real danger sometimes helps

I suffer from panic attacks. The first important thing to remember is that you are safe and you will not come to any harm. The body has a limited store of adrenalin which is what surges through the body during a panic attack. This can be known as "fight or flight" mode. This causes all of the horrible symptoms that come with a panic attack. Personally when I feel a panic attack starting, I find some relaxation exercises on YouTube. Mindfulness meditations and body scans are particularly good. I try really hard to engage with them and make myself as comfortable as possible.

I try to create the image of a "STOP" sign in my head. I image the sign and spell out the word while taking deep breaths. It helps to distract you from the panic/anxiety, and really helps to calm you down. I've also found that playing math/puzzle based games (such as sudoku or minesweeper) really help, as it shifts gears from the right side of your brain (the emotional side) to the left side of your brain (the logical side).

Visualize a place where you feel happy and at peace. Focus on something around you and say out loud all the little details of what you've found. If you're visualizing a place that brings you peace say what it looks like. Make note of every little aspect of it. This helps to anchor yourself to something more solid and real.

Breathe in for seven seconds, hold it for eight seconds, and then exhale for four seconds. Repeat this until you begin to calm down. Water also helps sometimes too

Put on some music that you like. Sit down and close you eyes and just breath slowly. Think of the breathing and nothing else. Try to ground yourself.

Breathe!!! I suffer from panic attacks and the only thing that settles me is the more I breathe...and slowly.

Coping with anxiety can be a pain when you have panic attacks. One method I use to control myself during panic attacks is to find things in the room that are familiar. I call this technique grounding. I find three things I can touch and reminisce on their texture, a thing I can smell, and two things I can hear. If it doesn't work the first time, I find another set of 3,2,1 things until I have fully directed my attention to focusing on grounding myself and the objects and gotten my mind off of what has caused the panic.

I know this might not be everyone's best cure but for me, it is. If you can, take out something to listen to music on, find a song maybe your favourite song, one that normally just makes you happy, play that song and listen to each individual element, maybe the drums guitars and vocals, dissect the song. while doing this also try and stay concious of your breathing and slow it right down. hopefully, this distracts you and calms you down. thats what i normally, do good luck

Breathe in through your nose for 3 seconds, out through your mouth for 3. Do this 12 times, it works wonders.

Focus on your breathing and slow it down. Find something in the room you can focus on and one thing you can touch. Continue to slow your breathing down and remember this feeling will pass and will not harm you. Call a friend and chat about something until the feeling passes which it soon will.

You can look around the room and take in everything that you see and describe it to yourself. What do you see? What color is that? What does it feel like? Basically, ground yourself to reality.
