Take some deep breaths. You may find it difficult to breathe when you’re stressed and in a public situation, but it’s important to focus on taking long breaths. This will restore oxygen to your body, making you feel more calm and relaxed.

I find it helpful to do a sensory exercise: 5,4,3,2,1 with my senses. Example:
5 things you see
4 things you hear
3 things you feel
2 things you smell
1 thing you taste
but you can mix it up any way you would like!

Something that helps me is feeling grounded, when i'm anxious my mind races, and it can be scary when you can't get away from the situation. I count things around me... so count 5 things you can see, then 5 things you can hear, and then make up your own little categories... it helps take my mind off worrying.

You have to breath in and breath out slowly. Just count 1, 2, 3, in a slow way and breath in, then count again and breath out. It helped me a lot and I know that's kinds difficult to do, but that's the only way.

Take deep breathes and picture yourself very calm, tell yourself it will pass. Try to have a one on one conversation with someone.

The thing that helps me calm down and relax in a stressful public situation is deep breathing. It is a type of yoga technique. You inhale a large breath and exhale very slowly, making the exhale last much longer than the inhale.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
