Anxiety is a psychological panic that your brain goes through that could easily be handled by relaxing your mind. The psychological aspect of the situation is that your brain needs to cool down and not go off rambling about all of these fears or worries. The best you can do is take a breather, relax, and focus and try and get yourself distracted to take away the negative thoughts going on in your brain.

The best way to deal with anxiety in public is by closing your eyes, even if for a second, and imagining you're somewhere else. Somewhere calm, somewhere of which you only have good memories or where you want to have good memories in. Then, while in that place, you can softly push the anxiety aside, pulling in feelings and thoughts of clarity, light and easiness. Do all of this while breathing in and out slowly. No one else will notice it and it might just help you!

Based on my experience, I try to breathe steadily. I tell myself that it's okay, I look around taking deep breaths and keep repeating that it's okay to myself. Eventually I get enough confidence and I'm okay again.

Finding a pretty color and focusing on it. Imagining the color as either a warm fuzzy blanket, or a cool silk cloth, and wrapping it around me. A comforting barrier between me and the world, that no one can see or judge me on.

Learn to breath deeply and slowly while recognizing that you just anxious and that your body is doing the fight and flight motion.

Try to find a quiet(er) place. Breathing exercises help. Just relax and try to relativate the thoughts you have. Be your own best friend and tell yourself it's not that bad and it'll be over soon.

A good trick to deal with anxiety in public is to think 0f 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. It works great!

it depends on the level of the anxiety attack, if its super bad, I'll buy a quick fruity drink to help with the nerves, in other ways I'll gently bite the curve near my thumb, (not hard) but enough to get your mind off it, Another solution is to step outside and away from people, if worse comes to worse find the nearest staff member and ask them for a quite place to sit or be because your having a anxiety attack.
