Tips for anxiety attacks

I do a combo of breathing exercises and grounding when I'm going into a panic attack. I also use natural remedies along with Rx and cognitive behavioral therapy/counseling. First let all your air out, breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, hold for 8 seconds, and let all your air out with a whoosh for 7 seconds. Grounding myself helps with staying present with what's around me. First I sit with both feet planted and I pick 5 objects and describe them out loud. I do this by what they are, what color, texture, does it smell like something familiar or similar? I use Bach's flower remedy called Rescue Remedy when I feel a panic coming. It does have alcohol in the adult one but not in the children's version. Follow the directions on the box for use. I also use Hylands Nerve Tonic which is dissolvable pills 3 times a day regardless of how I'm feeling. Hang in there, life isn't always like this. Much love and support to you.

I know this is probably something you don't want to do, I don't want anyone touching me, I just want to be alone... But, if someone hugs you very tightly and just hugs you until you're okay it does help. The pressure helps. 

I had an anxiety attack at work a couple months ago. It took me 2 weeks to feel better. I couldn't sleep, eat, had constant headaches, always light headed. Made myself sick. I have a friend who suffers from it too and we try and contact each other when we go through it. I also play games to keep myself from thinking.

Wow I was going to say yeah I hide in the bathroom all the time like pretty much every day 😖 it just helps me to be alone for a little bit. I still have anxiety but no more panic attacks I used to have in high school. For me i kind of grew out of it in a way. It's so hard to tell someone else what to do so I'm sorry I can't say I have specific advice but just know you are not alone in this struggle 💝
