How do you control your anxiety?

Question

What are some ways you calm down when you have an anxiety attack ?

Answer

I used to use the 54321 Grounding method.
When you're having an attack, start by breathing in for 5 seconds, holding breath for 5 seconds, out for 5 seconds. Repeat several times then:
5- find and acknowledge five things you can see. Window, phone, etc.
4- find and acknowledge four things you can touch. Material of jacket, desk, pen, etc.
3-find and acknowledge three things you can hear. Computer hum, tapping foot, cars going by, etc.
2- find and acknowledge two things you can smell. Smell your hands, shirt, air freshener, etc.
1- find and acknowledge one thing you can taste. Gum, water, juice, etc.

Answer

Same with Emily! I also try to do relaxing things like paint my nails or put on calming music. Putting on a face mask. Having my husband hold me and give me affection helps too. Taking deep breaths. Having someone or something to make me laugh. Taking a nap. Retail therapy 😂😂 (I'm a big shopaholic)

Answer

Lie down, close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing.

Answer

For me, I like to feel something cold . So if I’m having a panic attack a lot of times I will lay on the cold tile in my bathroom or I’ll take a cold shower.
