Personally, when I feel a panic attack coming on I do breathing exercises to attempt to calm down. Breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 7, and breathe out for 5.

Yes there certainly is.. Breathing exercises can help to calm you down. It's all about you being calm so what ever calms you down could be just as helpful.

Yes there are. Read the Panic Attacks guide could be a big help or ask your counselor for ways to cope with panic attacks.

Yes :) Doing some breathing exercise can help cope with panic attacks, or use the method of distraction such as chewing on gum, or blowing on your thumb which can return the heart to normal pumping rhythm.

Deep breaths and ridding yourself of all things that would spark any sort of negativity for the time being.

Deep breaths. Remember that a panic attack is caused by emotions, and that physically you're going to be okay. Turn on lights, especially if it happens at night. Call someone you trust if you feel alone.

Check out the anxiety self help guide, but things that might be helpful are deep breathing (so deep that your stomach moves and your chest presses out, try five or seven seconds in, five or seven seconds out), focusing on relaxing specific parts of your body one at a time, or calling somebody who can either talk you through it or get your mind off it. Most countries have anxiety hotlines you can call to talk to somebody, too. Seeing a therapist regularly can also help relieve built-up stress, as can exercise and keeping busy.

Finding a good support system will always help me. If I feel a panic attack coming on I will tell the people around me, and ask for their help.
