honestly you just have to find that calm place and just relax.. Or smoke or eat weed during the day after a while you'll calm down. |

BREATHE, slow your breathing. If it's that bad you might need to get on anti anxiety pills |

sit down, relax, listen to music. Also if it is that serious, be careful with yourself, call your doctor. |

i sit down, count to ten, and focus on my breathing while picturing myself on a nice sunny, sandy beach in the caribbean. |

Well, as unpopular as it is these days, I pray to God. I also memorize scriptures regarding the peace of God and I say those aloud to myself, as well. It has worked every time.
By the way, the panic attacks are very rare anymore. |

the ER doctor and the school nurse told my daughter to breathe slowly into a paper bag. she just keeps a lunch sized bag in her purse just in case. just having it there must help because she hasn't had a panic attack in several months. |

i have this problem too. my panic attacks bring on my asthma, so i find it so hard to breath and my heart is racing and i feel like im going to burst. anyways, i just think of a really calm place, like a meadow or something. or if that doesn't help, think of the people you love, your family, your friends. or, and this is what i do, i think the words IM GOING TO BE ALRIGHT! over and over until my body believes it. hope i helped (: |

The best thing you can do is NOT give in to the panic attack. Guess what? No one ever died from a panic attack and it's very, very rare to actually pass out from one. SO.... let yourself have one. In fact tell yourself you are going to let yourself have the worst one ever. Guess what? You have now faced your fear of having a panic attack and you realize that you won't pass out or die. Once your faced your fear head on you will know that you can survive one!!!! |

What works for me is weird but it always has worked in my case. When it starts I try as hard as I can to not imagine a pink elephant, Trying to not make something that blatant appear in my mind tends to calm me down and bring me back to being ok. |

I have suffered from the same issue for years and I really can't say what will help you because it affects us all differently but I take Benadryl and drink a vodka shot. It really is the worst feeling ever but you can control it. Use your mind to take the edge off. I hope something works for you. |

I think you should listen to very calming music and realize that everything is ok, and everything will always be ok because things are the way you make it. Lay down and take a nap, don't stress, dont fret just be cool and calm. |

Well as stupid as it sounds - run. Your body instictively starts to work your respiration for the excercise you're doing + this will take your mind off the thinking. |

BREATHE!!! Take long deep breaths! When we panic, we forget to breathe and that escalates the panic attack even more so! And if that doesn't work... take yourself out of the environment! Go for a walk and definitely should consult with your doctor. Having frequent panic attacks is a sign of something. Perhaps your doctor can prescribe some anxiety medications for you. |

This might sound crazy to you but I say the serenity prayer over and over and it really works for me. |

Deep breathing helps. Close your eyes when you do it. Put your hand flat on your chest and help the breathing with gentle massage. |

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There's this strange herb called "St John's Wort" - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John's Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced... you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction... There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to....

The only thing that ever worked for me (and I had panic attacks a lot years ago) was to lie down. Even on the bathroom floor if no other place was available.
There is medication out there right now to help with panic attacks. Back when I used to have the attacks, there was no medication for them--if it had been available, I would have used it. Those attacks are no fun. |

I too have panic attacks and it helps when I do deep breathing and I recite the serenity prayer.
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference |
