How can you deal with anxiety when you're in public?

It is kind of hard for me to deal with anxiety in public. I get shaky and I can barely utter a word sometimes and then I end up making a fool of myself.

Go to the bathroom, breathe deeply to the count of 4 and exhale to the count of 6 which will oxygenate your brain and keep you relaxed

I once saw this post on Facebook, and knew I had to write it down for my close friend who often has anxiety/panick attacks. Firstly, look around and find 5 things you can see 4 things you can touch 3 things you can hear 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste. It's called grounding yourself, and finding things around you to connect yourself with the world and your surroundings.

Wow! Well this is actually a question to at least ninety out of hundred people. Anxiety itself, makes us uncomfortable. With each passing second we feel like we are under huge pressure just like a lava and suddenly it may erupt! However this is just a super Imagination. 90% we are able to control our emotions, as our subconscious mind is working well. Also the rest 10% chance is just about the common symptoms like sweating of hands, shivering of the body parts or whole body, sometimes murmuring or baffling etc. However, trust me know one pays attention to it as all are busy in their life style and in current lifestyle all want to just focus and complete the work and go home and enjoy! So all in all you are safe. And remember you are not alone. Anxiety appears to almost all when they feel stressed!

just turn inward, like a turtle , talk to yourself, pretend everything is okay and you are comfortable, mostly it feels like everyone is watching you, but its not true. In any public place where people are continuously noticing each other, its just fine to feel a little awkward. Everyone feels. and yes make as minimum moves as possible to not spill a drink of somebody else......good luck.

One of the best ways I have found to deal with anxiety is to try the 4-6-8 breathing by breathing in for four second, hold the breath for six seconds, and release slowly for eight seconds.

You can deal with anxiety in so many different ways while in public, some of my favorite ways include deep breathing on counts of 10, eating something healthy if available such as fruit, talking to someone whether its family, friends or even someone new! You can also deal with anxiety on 7 cups for a few minutes by having a quick conversation, if that isnt an option maybe reading or taking a walk outside:) but in the end just know how loved you are and that you are going to be great!! take care!

The best thing you can do during an anxiety attack or just overall anxiety in public is breathing. Take multiple long, deep breaths. Look at your surroundings. Try naming every shop, tree, bench or whatever you see. Don't loose control over the things around you and keep taking deep breaths to calm yourself down. Breathing exercises are the best thing you can do to calm yourself down and still look normal in public. I hope this helps

Go out un public more frequently so you face your fear. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. When you feel high levels of anxiety focus on a point. Weather it's a formiliar shop or person. Just focus on the spot and breathe. Once the worst of it has passed you should feel more secure. Don't give up and stay at home but push yourself passed your comfort zone.

Try to find a place/spot where its calm and not that crowded, maybe go into a toilet when you feel its becoming too much and need a break. Take someone with you that you care about and feel comfortable with so you know you're safe when you're in public and be clear to that person when you feel its becoming too much or you want to get out of there. Everytime you go outside, its another step higher and you're becoming stronger by doing that.
