Panic Attacks?

FrancescaGabrielle October 24th, 2014

Anyone have trouble dealing with anxiety and panic attacks? I'd love to help you out. I've actually experienced a lot of anxiety and so I can relate to whatever it is you're going through.

I was wondering if any of you have come up with successful coping strategies to help prevent your panic attacks from happening? Anything interesting that helps you personally?

Generally I try to remember some breathing tricks, but I usually don't even notice that I'm having a panic attack until it's set in. Dealing with the aftermath means a big glass of iced water, and trying to stay away from other people. If I can, I try to find a friend (online or over text) to walk me through it.
