What should I do if I end up crying, and I find myself struggling to breathe?

Close your eyes, and lie down if you can. Try to imagine a place where you would feel safe, such as a calm place in nature. If you can't think of a place, think of a person that makes you feel comfortable. Aim to breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 7, and breathe out for 8, but don't worry if you can't do it perfectly. Breathing will become easier the longer you keep trying, so don't stop, or give in. It may take a while before you can calm down enough to breathe properly, but you will start to feel normal again. It will all be okay.

This sounds like some sort of panic attack. Being mindful and trying to help yourself is the best thing you can do. If it becomes serious, reach out for help.

If you are crying and are struggling to breathe, stop crying. Calm down, tell yourself it's okay. Breathe in and out, slowly. Don't wear yourself out.

Focus on taking yourself out of the thoughts that are causing you to cry and focus solely on your breath. Take in slow breaths while counting to three, and then exhale slowly while counting to three. Sit down, especially if you are feeling faint. Consider lying down, all the while focusing on slow deep breaths.

For me, forcefully focusing on my chest moving up on down works. Press it with your hand to mimic the motion and focus on your heartbeat.

If you end up crying and you can't breathe. Try, very slowly, to take deep breaths. It has happened to me before, just try it. Deep breath, let it out, deep breath, let it out. Repeat.

You should take is slowly. Try to calm down, don't panic. Stay on the bed and try to get small breaths until you feel better. Try to focus on something that makes you feel good, or open the window to get some fresh air. Also, some calming pills can help a lot. Hope i helped you! Take care!

This sounds like it could be a panic attack. Some people find breathing to be a useful tool to use in the moment, when this is happening. Try this: take a deep breath in through your nose. Hold it for a few seconds, if you can. Blow it out as slow and strong as you can, like you're blowing up a balloon. Count to ten slowly as you do this.

try to calm yourself by meditating, drink water, lay down , focus on your breathing or go outside for fresh air

Take a slow deep breath in and hold it for a few seconds then exhale - repeat this a few times. Do not hold your breath too long so that you pass out, only hold it for a couple of seconds then let it out. This allows your heart to slow down to its usual rate which calms you down.
