How can you stop anxiety attacks?

The best to stop a panic attack is to not think of having one. Keep telling yourself you wont have a panic attack. Also talking about why you are getting this anxiety attacks is a great first step to finding the root of the problem.

A good way is to stop and breathe slowly in and out. Tell yourself that it's just a moment in time and it will pass. That seems to help me. Also distracting yourself with a funny video or by going for a walk outside can help as well.

The bravest people out there are the ones with battle scars. Think of happy thoughts and good things that will happen in the future. A birth, marriage, etc.

Anxiety attacks are pretty scary. Especially when you're alone. Something that works for me is laying on my back on the ground and taking deep breaths. I try to take my mind off of the anxiety attack by focusing entirely on my breathing. Sometimes I count to three for each breath I take. Other times I turn on a song and focus on the instruments.

Anxiety attacks cannot stop immediately. A good way to calm down is to try and get away from what is making you anxious. Listening to music or reading is a good way to calm down. Deep breaths help a lot as wwll

In my opinion to stop an anxiety attack is to distract yourself mental and physically, once you have calmed yourself down by distracting yourself, you then have a clear mind to strip down the problem one step at a time and at your own pace, never rush yourself :)

Coping with anxiety attacks is tough. For me I went for professional help and got some medication and talking therapy which has helped a great deal.

By breathing slowly and taking yourself out of the situation that caused you to have it. Take slow, deep breaths and clear your mind.

1) Learn to manage what is causing your anxiety - are you avoiding some sort of responsibility? at work? at school? in a relationship? at home? what are you desperately trying to escape from?? Try and list everything out. 2) Make routine exercise and routine sleep a top priority - these will help you not only increase the endorphins in your body, and help you to be comfortable with a faster heart rate in the context of a safe environment (I recommend at least one period of high intensity exercise per week, and two to three periods of low intensity exercise per week, totally no less than three hours of exercise, weekly!), but the routine sleep will help you stabilize the chemicals in your brain, while keeping your day somewhat in a comfortable routine. Set aside all your distractions, and aim for 7~9 hours per night, and no less than 6 hours on any given day, no matter what! 3) Eat a healthy, nutritious diet - cut out on junk food more than once per week! 4) Reduce alcohol and coffee intake - depending on how severe your anxiety is. These things are only minor refinements, and I suggest completely stopping your intake of these drinks if you are extremely prone to anxiety, as they have immediate impacts on your brain chemicals, your ability to think and rationalize, and your heart rate. 5) Breathe - learn methods of deep breathing. When you feel your heart beating, learn the 4-7-8 method of breathing. Inhale for four counts, hold your breath for seven counts, and exhale deeply (and loudly) for eight counts. Repeat this for 2~3 minutes or as long as you desire until you feel comfortable. My general tip is to learn to continue with what you are doing (work, or whatever) as you are breathing, and do not be afraid to stop though, if you need to.

Breathe and go on 7cups! Its helps to talk to someone and its even better that you can't see them, because some people can get social anxiety that way!
