take a mild breathe in count 6 seconds than relax follow with a another breath in counting 1,2,3 than out 1,2,3, repeat for about a minute, it stops the hypoventilation caused by a panic attack, sometimes it works for me sometimes it doesn't, hope this helps
i take 1mg of klonopin, close my eyes breathe deep and tell myself "you are fine, this is only a feeling" and things like that till i either konk out from the pill or feel better
To prevent a panic attack you really need to distract yourself for at least three minutes. A good method I use is to choose a three digit number and count backwards in sevens.
I hate taking medication, even for something like a common cold, so I have to do something else.
Cold places help me a lot when I'm panicking. I don't know why. But the coldest place in my house is the bathroom floor or the basement, so I hang out there for a bit and try to completely blank my mind. It works.
Oh yeah, at my job we have a huge walk in freezer we sometimes have to go into to get some things, perfect time for me to try and clear my head. Cold as hell though and my glasses fog up as soon as I get back out.
walk in freezer? wish I had that.. sounded great
I wish I were old enough to work at the freezer at work. It's too damn hot!
haha yea the heat is pretty unbareable during these months
