Panic attacks
| Lay down on your coach and bed and breathe in and out. Focus on your breathing on only that.
| As anon above said, you should lay down, try your best to relax and take deep breaths. Trying to think about your fears logically can sometimes help, but for that you have to be a little more relaxed first. Talking about it with someone could also help, but the first two things are the most important.
| This advice isn't for everyone but I've known a few people it's worked for so I'll share my unconventional tip.
If you can feel a panic attack coming on, like you're in that build up stage where you know it's gonna happen, try to force it.
Actively try to have a panic attack.
| I don't know the exact science of it, but for a few people I've known doing this just prevents the panic attack altogether.
My best guess is that it's to do with giving your brain so many things to think about that it can't even focus on the source of the panic, but idk.

That sounds, weird. Might be worth a try though, but personally I think that would make me panic more, so OP, be careful.
