How can I hide an anxiety attack?

There are a few steps you can take during an anxiety attack episode: 1. Breathe: as simple as that sounds, just breathe. Deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. 2. Find a quiet place to sit (if possible): go to the rest room, sit with your head between your knees and breathe in and out for a few seconds. 3. Calm yourself: tell yourself that it's going to be okay, it might not feel that way now, but it will. Tell yourself that it's okay to feel scared, but it's not necessary. 4. Tell a family member or friend that you are having an attack, for additional support Please, if these attacks are frequent and interfering with everyday life, consider seeing a therapist or counsellor for support. Remember: You are okay, you are enough, you are perfect in your imperfections, you are strong and you are courageous.

Often times others can not tell when you are having an anxiety attack. In the middle of an anxiety attack it doesn't feel that way, but unless we are fainting or speaking about it, our panic is often a subjective experience - one that remains invisible to those outside of us. If you are really concerned, you can always step outside and go for a walk, or go to a restroom. Privacy can be calming. However, I believe that trying to hide an anxiety attack is unnecessary. Most people will not be able to tell. Even if someone could recognize the signs, chances are they would want to help you rather than ridicule you.

There is no way to hide them, but there are ways to slow them. Count your breaths, name every blue item in the room, list off three things you can hear, see, feel or even smell. Never be afraid to seek the help of those around you as well.

I tend to breathe rapidly if I'm having an anxiety attack and as a result, my shoulders and chest tend to rise noticeably at a fairly quick rate. To hide this apparent sign of anxiety, I focus on taking big, deep breaths as to not give away that I am having an anxiety attack.

There is no need to hide it. The thing to do is to embrace it and try to work on overcoming it. Don't worry about people judging you.

I take several deep breaths and start praying in my head. I keep repeating this until I start relaxing

Oh, that's a tough one. People have different symptoms, and situations vary. Usually finding some space alone is the best way to hide one. But remember that anxiety attacks are pretty normal. Most people have some clue of what you're going through, while they might not know how to help, they aren't going to judge you for it. Anxiety about anxiety makes things so much worse. Who knows? The next person who sees you having an anxiety attack might be able to help you escape that one.

When you are having an anxiety attack you have to breathe and try to control it, stay calm, try to go to the bathroom and splash your face with a bit of cold water, just concentrate on something peaceful and calm, you will see everything will go fin, be positive.

Hiding it wouldn't be a good idea because of so different psychological reasons but if you really want to hide it then try to be relax. Breathe in your nose and exhale through your mouth and this will help relax you and what I do sometimes is that I listen to music and or shake my hands while at it and this will create a diversion from your attack. I suggest though that you should talk to someone if you are experiencing anxiety because hiding it could worsen the situation

Take deep breaths and go to a calm place. If you are in a room with some colleagues or friends, excuse yourself to the restroom. Find a place for a couple of moments where you can center yourself and regain focus.
