Try your best to calm down, despite how difficult it might be. Try to relax. Once you are calm, try to remember what triggered this and work on how to stop it from happening in the future.

Try to find a spot away from people, maybe listen to some calming music breathe in for four hold for seven out eight counts. My art teacher suggested this, another good option is heading to the water fountain and taking some sips of cold water to try and clear your head. I hope this helps!

Well, first you should take a couple of really deep breaths and find somewhere quiet, so you can focus on your breathing. It may also be helpful if you called a friend or family member that you trust, and talked to them about what's going on.

Close your eyes and count to 10, and keep counting until you feel your muscles begin to loosen. Another trick that works is say nice things to yourself in the mirror.

Take deep breaths, focus on breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Count to one hundred slowly and focus on the counting. Then get a glass of water and sip it.

Go through the experience. Give in and have a good cry. Regain composure once it's out of your system.

This sounds like a panic attack. The thing I do when I am feeling this is try to focus on birds. Birds are a symbol of freedom and peace for me, and it helps me calm down.

Well this happened to me a couple of times. What i did was that tried not to panic and went out in the fresh air. Sat on a chair and started taking short breaths inhale from nose and exhale from mouth. Then took a long breath and just relaxed all my body. Kind of slumped. Then cried and cried and in between inhale exhale. And all was well in about 10 minutes.😊

That's more of a fear than an actual possibility. While it can cause that sensation, it's often anxiety doubled with sadness. Crying can help you feel better, and the only way you would feel like you're struggling to breathe is if that was what you were focusing on in the first place.

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?
