How can you stop anxiety attacks?

Personally I try grounding myself for a sense of reality. I look for what i can see, hear, feel, etc. Also, stress toys are amazing!

Understand what starts them and know what helps you best. When you feel it coming on start taking deep breaths and let yourself know you can control and stop it from getting worse!

Searching for distractions! Whether it be a game, or by having someone talk to me- anything to keep my mind off my current state and the lowness that I'm feeling!

Try taking a deep breath in, tensing all of the muscles in your body at the same time. Hold it for 5 seconds, and then as you exhale and relax your body, picture yourself blowing out the anxiety/emotional tension. Keep doing this until you're calmer. You can also try Progressive Muscle Relaxation tapes on youtube to try and calm down. Allow yourself to have the panic attack-- otherwise, it will get a lot worse.

Preventative measures are the best way to address anxiety. By practicing mindfulness, for example, you will be more aware of when an anxiety attack is about to occur, and thus can avoid it sooner. If you are already experiencing an attack, deep breathing is a very effective method to ease your anxiety. If you are able, pause what you are doing, close your eyes, and take deep breaths, each one deeper than the last, counting as you go. Peace, Devin

If you feel an anxiety beginning, it is important to calm yourself down as much as you can. Sit yourself comfortably, take deep breaths and just relax. If possible, have someone with you to keep you safe incase anything happens and to help with anything you need. Drinking water is important as it keeps you hydrated and can prevent you feeling faint. The main solution however, would be to just keep yourself calm and relaxed, and the attack should slowly ease off.

I get this... i cant stop shaking and i cant see clearly. I cant hear or think. Its terifying to be honest. im sorry but i have no advice for you. Does anyone have any for me? x

Find what works best for you and try pin point your triggers. Deep breathing can be effective, distraction techniques and changing your thoughts can assist

the main thing you can control is your breathing. try the 4 7 8 breathing technique. in for four seconds hold it for seven seconds and out for eight seconds. repeat.

You can stop anxiety attacks, in my own opinion, by having what I call an "Emergency Squishy". Which is like a stress ball, essentially, but it can be anything you can grip onto without breaking. I usually take mine everywhere because attacks can happen out of nowhere, I understand, so when I feel like one could pop up, I take it out and squeeeeeeze it til I'm better! :)
