Sometimes it helps to focus on the room around you. Focus on something other than the fact that you are struggling to breathe. Once you have calmed down a bit, focus on taking breaths deep in your body. Tell yourself that you will be okay and you can calm down. It may take a while, but it is possible.

Count from 1 to 3 or 3 to 1. Or any number provided it is not too long. This tricks the brain into focusing on the logical process instead of whatever stress is going on in your environment or in your mind.

Grounding techniques. Try to focus on one of the following; touch, taste, smell, sight and sound. List 3 things for each. Or use hot or cold sensations, an ice cube in the palm of your hand to keep you in the present moment etc. Try taking deep long breaths, even into a paper or plastic bag if you have one. Call for help if you feel out of control.

Some people find a hug can really help! There's also the 4 7 8 breathing technique; "Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound. Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four. Hold your breath for a count of seven. Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight. This is one breath."

Try doing breathing techniques such as deep inhales and outhales. However, if you find it difficult to regulate your breathing seek help from a family member or trusted adult.

Try to calm yourself down by taking deep breaths. Splash cool water on your face to clean yourself and calm you down! Try and talk to somebody who you trust about anything upsetting you.
