How can I calm down during a panic attack?

First way to calm yourself is by remembering it's a panic attack and try your best not to clench up. Try to relax your body even if trembling. Begin to focus on your breathing... Breath in deep and slow for the count of 5, hold it for the count of 5, the breath out slowly for the count of 5. Do this until you feel relaxed. What's great about this is, you can do this anywhere without needing a prop.

You take a deep breath and focus on your breathing. If you don't, your panic attack could get worse and it could be harder to calm down.

calming down during a panic attack is complicated. being with someone or finding your favorite stuffed animal could possibly settle your mind.

Breathing exercises are a good first step. Try mindfulness, perhaps. Mindfulness has been found to help people with a variety of health problems including anxiety/panic.

Hold your breath - slows down your heart rate. And count to 10. Or breath in for 3 seconds, hold it for 3 and let it out for 3

Try meditation. Think about what started this panic attack and think about the best-case-scenario. A bit of meditation music helps too.

So many ways. Talking to someone helps a lot, but to listen to music and write or read or even breathing exercises can help alot. It depends on who you are, but you have to be careful that you don't avoid the problem, but come back to it later with a clearer mind

By grounding yourself. Listing what you can hear or see. Distraction. Thinking about something else, preferable non-anxiety inducing. Affirmations. Repeating a mantra to yourself that reminds you that you're safe, and if you're not, you are more safe than you think.

The best thing to do is take deep breathes and count to 100. Think about a place you want to go and who you want to be there with.

The best thing to do during a panic attack is don't forget to breathe. I always do what I call 3-4-7 breathing which is when you inhale for 3 seconds, hold for 4 and exhale for 7 seconds. If you don this a couple of times, your heart rate will decrease, decreasing your thoughts about having a heart attack and eventually calming down. Also be aware that you're safe and nothing can happen to you, you'll survive. But I do find that the best thing to do is try your best to control your breathing :)
