Another way you can accompish this by talking through how you feel.

Relax your muscles. Take slow deep breaths and count to 5. Close your eyes and focus on squeezing your toes on every fifth count. Sometimes going outside for fresh air helps too!

Breathe! Breathing is the best thing you could ever do. First, you need to remember in your head to breathe in and out. That's the first thing you should always think about when you have a panic attack. Also, think of some things that calm you down. Does music calm you down? A person? Try and find that and stay away from things that trigger panic attacks as much as possible

I put my favorite song on. I take deep breathes. Sing the song and if you must you can pace in a private place. Allow yourself to calm down. If you want you can also sit in a meditating position and just take deep breathes in and out until you are calm. Try to do this outside because I know feeling enclosed in walls could possibly make you feel worse. Take your time to soothe yourself do not rush it.

I deal with them by trying not to think of things that would make me panic. Example; thinking of an upcoming test I think I might do bad in or a place that I don't know anyone in.

Just stop thinking. Deep breaths. People ask you to count, but I think what I'm gonna say would be better. Think of a word, or just something like 'um' 'om' just something like it, just concentrate on that word. People use it while meditating it helps you concentrate. But During panic attacks when you start concentrating on anything else, you tend to relax. When you know your mind is calm take a few deep breaths and then just do something light, like listen to silent or nature's music.
