How to relieve a panic attack ??

Question

It’s so bad

Answer

Put your thumbs together and point your index ( pointer) fingers up to form a pretend box. Starting at the tip of one index blow air to trace the box that you made go slow and even.

Answer

Just wait to pass. The more emphasis you put on it, the scarier it appears.

Answer

Grounding...name 5 things you can see, hear, touch and smell...breaths by 4...4 in hold for 4 and 4 out...try to have a short walk or take a breather outside

Answer

Personally I have to take medicine and ride it out. Idk why but hot baths help me calm down so I’d recommend that

Answer

It depends, sometimes I ride it out and try to remember that it will pass a lot faster than I think. I rationalize the thoughts scaring me & try to accept the possibility of what im fearful of may not be as bad as I think in the moment. 
Those are very difficult steps, and not common advice, but it helps me, I've had like at least a hundred panic attacks this year. It is definitely a nightmare. But that's the thing, it seems like either your body panics- 
Or the panic attack is about a specific fear or trigger. And it's often being afraid of a narrative rather than what is actually happening in the moment- it is in some ways like a waking dream. At least for me, it's like, the alternate reality of pure terror. And it's even worse than it sounds, somehow. 
I go there for about 15-30 minutes, it's hard to freak out intensely for much longer. Sometimes it happens several times, but the worst part only feels like it's forever, because it sucks.
Reminding yourself it won't last long is comforting. Reminding yourself you've survived so much in life & been brave before helps. Reminding yourself things probably will not seem so bad in like 15 minutes is helpful.
Distraction helps a lot too, when possible. Like just leaving the room you are in, doing something with your hands or something creative is helpful. 
I often read passages from my favorite books outloud when I'm doing really bad too. Usually things I find inspiration and comfort in. They give me strength. 
The one grounding technique I like is just feeling different textures. It seems like touch works for me- a lot of the usual things, like deep breathing, doesn't work for me for some reason.
