How can I cope with anxiety and panic attacks when I have nobody to go to for help?

Create a list of coping strategies that you have tried and that work. Keep copies of the list in your home, coat pocket, and car so you don't have to think about what to do when a panic attack happens. A person with asthma keeper their inhaler by their side all the time. A person with panic attacks should keep their list always ready, as well as the other tools that will help them get through it (ipod, headphones, journal, etc.).

I breathe in my nose and out my mouth. I count to 100 and I focus on other things. I think about things that make me calmer.

Think about positive and happy things, avoid sad or negative thoughts, rest and sleep properly.

first, never forget how strong you are, second i found research they key to helping me, reading and reading, finding like minded people and connecting with them

You can be your own best tool! Use the self-help guide on here, research coping mechanisms (especially on professional or official sites), or form a "safe place" in your mind (directions can be found online). Or even a box of safe things for when you feel the onset of panic. If you're in school, many people don't realize this, but your nurse can be a good resource and is supposed to allow you to calm down in her office (or your school may have a psychiatrist you can talk to.) Keep your options open, and research! Breathing and grounding techniques, when practiced, can become your best friends.

Talk to some one! That's what this website is for! There are tons of friendly listeners you can connect to

you need to talk yourself through it. come up with a routine. count numbers, distract yourself :).

Use coping skills like deep breathing, stress balls, grounding, use a mind exercise called "out of this world", write, draw, read, watch tv, take a nap, connect with a 7cupsoftea listener... The list can go on for ever.

You can research it and see other people experiences, and seek professional help as well, and there are always people at 7cups that are willing to listen as well :)

There are many ways to cope with your anxiety and panic attacks yourself. Rationalize your thoughts, focus on your breathing, but in the end figure out what works best for you. If listening to music helps you cope then do that, but in the end you know you best so find what works best for you. Take care!
