dealing with stress in school isn’t easy, but I find this tip to be
helpful as a distractor or a good way to keep you grounded. When you feel like an anxiety or panic attack is emerging, you can use the
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1" method.
your five senses would be prominent here: sight (think, what 5 things can you see? it could be a pencil, it could be the door), touch (what 4 things can you feel? maybe you can feel your hand on your lap, the long of your sleeve, your feet on the ground), hearing (what 3 things can you hear? maybe it’s your stomach rumbling? what are some sounds you can hear outside of your body?), smell (what 2 things can you smell) and taste? (what is one thing you can taste? coffee? gum?).
i hope you would try this method ! i would love to know if it was helpful <3
