Whenever your anxiety gets really bad, you can do some of the following to help calm you down and focus again. You can immediately start doodling, you can take some deep breaths, and you can start pushing out all of your negative thoughts and surroundings by focusing only on you and the positive aspects in your life.

Think of your favorite things, hobbies, or pets. They can make you happy, lowering blood pressure, stopping the panic attack. Try watching a calming TV show, or listening to classic or soothing music. Remember, these are just suggestions, and you know you best. Try to use these to find what works best for you. : )
