Panic Attack Coping Mechanisms

Hi

Welcome to the forum but sorry to hear you have been having panic attacks the best thing to do is stay calm as possible and concentrate on your breathing deep long breaths this can take a while to master so some practice may be required.


Have you ever heard of Mindfulness? It is basically a form of meditation but really helps you to relax and you may find it useful if you type Mindfulness in the search engine you will find a thread I did on it just a suggestion.

Keep posting we are here to support you.
