How do you avoid getting panic attacks?

The first thing I do is take deep breathes to calm my heart. Then I assess the problem and find what I'm nervous about. Once I assess the problem I relate it to a similar situation I have concurred or someone else has concurred and tell myself that everything is fine.

From my personal experience, I used to have panic attacks on a daily basis when I was younger. As I got older, I began finding different ways to get over them and to be at a "peaceful" state of mind. What helps me a lot is that in the morning times, I drink a cup of hot tea and meditate by listening to music and following an easy breathing technique, and in the afternoon if I feel like I am going to panic, I usually go for a jog or do some kind of exercise (jogging, yoga, etc.) This really helps me. :) Hope it helps you too!

To avoid panic attacks I always take a deep breath, close my eyes and think back to a moment when I was calm or happy.

I do things that distract me and keep my mind busy on something else. The company of a close friend or family member helps me find distraction as well. I like doing things as deep breathing, coloring, reading, playing music, playing games or joining the 7 Cups of Tea support groups, that keeps my mind busy on something that is not the panic attack.

Take deep breaths and think of something calming like rain or the beach and think about calming your breathing!

You can avoid getting panic attacks by always try to keep your mood and well being happy and content. Talk with your close friend often, and, if you don't have one, bond with someone and get someone. It will be worth it, I promise.

Look up different excercises that help with panic attacks. I would definetly take deep breaths and think positive thoughts.

There is a 5 step process. 1) Name 5 things you can see. 2) Name 4 things you can feel. 3) Name 3 things you can hear. 2) Name 2 things you like the smell of. 1) Name one thing you like about yourself.

Whenever I feel like I'm about to panic, I breathe 4 seconds in through my nose, and four seconds out through my mouth. I feel my pulse on my neck or wrist, and consciously try and control my heart beat. I focus only on my breathing. Then I begin the Countdown Coping Technique as I call it. I list in my head 5 things I see, 4 things I hear, 3 things I can touch, 2 things I smell, and 1 thing I taste. Then I go back to focusing on my breathing. It works for me like a charm! :)

I usually just think of happy or positive thoughts, I also avoid overthinking by trying to relax and remove pressure on myself and think less of negative thoughts. I also do things I like doing.
