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

Breathe in for four seconds, breathe out for four seconds. I will be okay, Focus on my breathing, because I have to be careful not to pass out. Call someone. Sit down or lie on your side to avoid choking on saliva if I pass out. Breath slowly. Stop crying by thinking of someone or something I love. Call someone for emotional support

Focus on breathing. Slowly draw in your breath, hold it for a few seconds, and then slowly release it.

just take deep breaths. It’s going to be OK, we’ve all had cries like that before. Are you have to do is just take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. If you find yourself to start to feel better try and do things to distract yourself like if you like reading,read a book. or if you like listening to music, listen to music. just try and it’s going to be OK, we’ve all had cries like that before.

You have to do meditation ....or take deep breathe ... Drink water . It helps a lot to clam down by yourself...

Take a deep breath out while bringing your stomach inwards, I always find this helps calm me down when I can't breathe when crying

Breathing exercises are useful in situations like this. Even if it's difficult, taking a deep breath can be helpful.

try to find a safe space in your home or a place in which you feel your best, then focus on your surroundings. what color is the carpet/ flooring? how many windows are in that room? etc... then focus on your feet, and slowly but surely gradually move your attention all the way up to your head. all the while doing this breathe in for 8 seconds, hold it for 2, and let it out for 10 seconds.

Just cry it out and your breathing will catch up with you. Sometimes, all you need is a good cry. It doesn't mean that you're weak, just means that you're human.

I close my eyes and count. I imagine a sky full of shining stars, and I count. I think of how crying may ease the pain, and how relieved I would feel after I let 1% of what I'm feeling. I focus on my breath and count.

if you are having trouble breathing because you are crying, try taking deep, slow breathes. do something that might help you calm down, like hug a stuffed animal or pillow, basically something you can squeeze. breathe into a bag if you have one around. try to distract yourself from whatever is making you cry, watch a funny video or play with a pet, or even hug a friend or family member, or even a pet if the pet doesnt mind you hugging them. not being able to breathe while your crying can be scary but it will pass on its own eventually
