Fun fact. If you put ice over your eyes (like an ice pack) and lay down. Count to 10, your anxiety and panic will be relieved almost immediately. :)

Take deep, long breaths, breathing from your stomach. If it's in anger, the counting to 10 rule helps. If you're anxious counting backward in threes from 100 can help distract you until youre calm :)

Focus on your breathing. Just think about breathing in and breathing out. Try to make the breaths longer and longer.

Focus, concentrate, make a conscious effort to believe in yourself and your efforts. Fight off all the negativity, and keep motivating yourself.

I use Grounding Techniques. ( http://www.bcbhr.org/Articles.aspx?7 )My favorite is to look around the room and, with no judgements, describe what i see. Like: "Blue carpet. Brown chair. A scratch on chair. The chair has four legs. Gold lamp. It is shiny. Blue vase. Purple flowers with long petals...." I do this until I am out of my thoughts and calm. I try to breathe a bit as i do this, and slowly I start to relax a bit and feel less overwhelmed by whatever i was feeling.

Accept that the panic attack is happening, remind yourself that it isn't dangerous. Give yourself a moment to experience what is happening and then try writing down how you feel at that moment. This is then the point that you begin to go through the exercises and techniques that work best for you.

Stop, take a deep breath, hold and slowly release. Do this a couple of times and you should feel a load of pressure lift right off

Depending on the situation, the first step is to walk away - find a quiet place where you can reflect and think without intrusion. Perhaps try breathing exercises accompanied with some light stretches and meditation. Then depending on your tastes, you can try listening to some music, taking a run or walk, drawing, writing and taking pictures etc. The key is to spend/use up all the pent up emotion so you can reflect on the situation later on with a rational mind without bias

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?
