How can I best support others when they are struggling with a full-blown panic attack?

I find that controlling my breathing helps majorly, it helps me to stop worrying and focuses me on my breathing, I usually use the rule. "Inhale...1...2...3...Exhale...1...2...3...Repeat"

Give them calm, reassuring, supportive words. Ask if they can take a deep breath and close their eyes.

First of all, you have to understand what they're experiencing: feelings of anxiety so strong it becomes uncontrollable and pours out as this horrible, terrifying feeling. If you wish to comfort them, the best thing to do is to comfort them soothingly, let them know that everything will be fine and that you're there for them. If you know the person well, get them to whatever comforts them. Sometimes, however, a person having a panic attack will want to be left alone to calm themself down. If this is their wish, respect it and let them be.

They might want space. They also might want you to be there for them. It isn't best to assume so I suggest asking them before hand. Overall, checking up on them is good.

If your with someone an they have a full blown panic attack is to make them feel safe an try to distract them away from the panic....

Be there for them. Help them steady their breathing. Tell them how good they are and that it's going to be okay because having an attack is scary.

You should just sit with them, and ask them what you could to to help as everybody may need different things to feel better. However as a general rule, getting the person to breathe with you can help them slow their breathing and eventually calm down.

Give them a hug if your in person with them. Ask them what theyd like to do . spend time with them. Also say take a deeo breath that helps. If your over. The phone or chat just talk about whatever they wanna talk about be their friend help them get their mind of it.

Well in my personal experience of panic attacks some people may want to be comforted others may just need time to let it pass, But if they do want you to help usually the best thing to do is just let them know you're there and that you care, DON'T TELL THEM to calm down this doesn't help and may make them feel worse, you can help them do some basic slow breathing which should help them relax.

Tell them that everything will be okay and to just take some deep breaths and maybe give them a little cup of water if you can
