how do you deal with panic attacks?
Just had a panic attack and I literally thought I was dying. The last one I had was 5 years ago so this took me by surprise and had no idea what to do or how to calm down. It eventually went away but it was horrible. What's an effective way of getting out of an attack? I fear that I will have another one cuz I haven't calmed down properly
i personally find the 54321 method effective. name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. it has helped me not only distract my brain from thinking its in life threatening danger but also grounds me by making me aware of reality and my surroundings. 1 reply
