How can I hide an anxiety attack from others?

Taking some time to ground yourself can help alleviate the symptoms of anxiety or an anxiety attack. Something I do when I feel the panic rising is to sit or stand still, and take a series of slow, deep breaths, making sure to hold and exhale for at least twice as long as it took me to breathe in. If you can get away with it, close your eyes (for example, if you have sunglasses on, people don't usually notice -- or they may think you're just listening and being attentive if they see you close your eyes) and picture yourself somewhere peaceful, like a deep forest, or sunny beach for a short time.

The first thing to think about when dealing with an anxiety attack is not "How to hide it" but "How can I calm down?" since calming down will lead naturally to people not perceiving you panicking. Try and catch yourself and run a quick run down: Am I okay physically? What is the source of the anxiety? How much longer until I can get out of here? Even if you only know the answer to one of these questions you still gain a modicum of control by knowing that. 1. Breathe. Remember to take deep breathes. 2. Butterfly tapping, this can be done under the table on your thighs or even with your hands in your pockets. 3. Excuse yourself for a bathroom break if you need time to gather yourself, It's an extremely innocuous way to get yourself a couple of minutes in private to catch your breath. 4. Carry around a totemic item, something that gives you comfort and support knowing you have it. A friend carries around medication but because he knows he has it he never feels the panic reach a level where he needs to use it.

Talk to somebody, someone you trust of course. You don't always need to hide it, because it's natural. But if you do, go to the bathroom or for a walk and calm down. Breathe and relax :)

My friend uses a rubber band. When she feels like she is going to have one, she pulls it. She keeps it on her wirst and yes you may not like the idea of hitting yourself with a rubber band, but she says it works great! :)

You can remove yourself to a quiet place, keep something on you to fiddle with (like a bubble popping app or a game to get your mind of things), and take a breather. If you've got friends who are aware of your situation and are open to support you, don't be afraid to take them up on that! They care about you. If you're having frequent anxiety attacks that are disrupting your life, it may be beneficial to get professional help or medication. If therapy doesn't work for you, being able to identify the origin of your anxiety and practicing the ability to step out of yourself and look at it logically has helped me. Don't let the concept of having these anxiety attacks embarrass you. You are incredibly strong for dealing with them.

Trying to hide the anxiety attack will likely cause you to feel more anxious, since anxiety can be about hiding some perceived flaws (eg, the anxiety might be perceived as a flaw and cause the socially anxious person to feel more socially anxious). Do know that anxiety is a normal thing and nothing to be ashamed about. Also, try to see things in proportion: Maybe there is a good reason to feel anxious/nervous.

If it's possible find a quiet or empty place to get away too, even something like a bathroom, and if anyone asks tell them you just need a minute or to get some fresh air. If someone notices your anxiety attack it's okay though. Most people will try to help and won't judge you.

It is hard too hide an anxiety attack it depends how severe the attack is. But you can try breathing exercises or maybe go somewhere from everyone else and try talking technics. But really it all depends how you feel.

sometimes its best not to hide them, but i personally can understand why you would want to, i often tend to take myself somewhere seperate like outside or a bathroom, so that i can try to calm myself down, i am always here to talk if you want more help or advice just pm me :)

Anxiety attacks are not usually a physical attribute. When I have anxiety or panic, no one would know unless I told them. The best way for me to hide my anxiety or panic is to breathe, drink some cool water and be still and calm down. Sometimes it could be happening due to your environment, like a loud restaurant. Maybe if you know your triggers, try to pick times to hang out with friends when its not so busy.
