How do you deal with pulling yourself out of a panic attack when others just say "Snap out of it!" ?

Ignore the unhelpful people who tell you to snap out of it, they obviously have no idea how panic attacks feel! If you can, go somewhere safe and where you have some time away from the situation. Concentrate on your breathing, imagine a square and breath around that square. Remind yourself that you are not in danger and you are in control. It will pass and you will feel better.

You must take a step back and breathe. It is hard to calm yourself down. You must look around and tell yourself you have no immediate threats around you and that you will be fine if you keep breathing.

I go into my room and I will lay or sit on my bed and call my boyfriend or I will go to sleep so I can forget everything.

"Snapping out of it" isn't a helpful thing to encourage, as it is just going to produce more panic about not being able to snap out of it. The first step to pulling yourself out of a panic attack is to stop resisting the feelings of the panic attack. Resisting the panic attack will just make it worse. Try relaxation techniques, try to avoid listening to those who do not understand. It will pass, and you will feel better. Just "ride the wave".

You can deal with pulling yourself out of a panic attack when others just tell you to snap out of it is to know you can figure out things that work for you to help you out when you have one and if you aren't able to do it talking to someone who you know and understands you to intervene too.

Well I deal with a panic attack by telling myself that I am going to be okay and to breathe. That is the most important thing you can do when your pulling yourself out of an attack here. I mean you have to stay focused on the things that make you happy and that can make a great impact on you as a person. Other people do not know what a attack is unless they are having one, but remain calm and like I learned it is about learning to cope with them and move forward in knowing what your been through as a person here.

I learned to focus only on my heartbeat and how I could slow it down. For example: the first time I tried this, I was actually driving I felt my body get that cold/stone feeling and I knew a panic attack was coming. I could feel my heart beat throbbing throughout my entire body and decided to focus on that. I wondered what I could do to slow it down, so I decided to try deep breaths. It worked, and I didn’t end up having a panic attack. I am extremely bad about using coping skills if I actually think to myself ‘I need to use a coping skill right now’ because I need to feel in control, and to dig in my “coping skill tool box” would make me more aware of the fact that I am not in control in that moment. But, if I just focus on lowering my heart rate, I’ll pretty much always be using some type of coping skill without the pressure of using one.

During a panic attack, the best way I deal with it is getting some space from people (go in the hall if in a classroom, go outside or bathroom if in a store, etc.) and I often find myself quietly counting under my breath which helps out majorly! Close your eyes and tell yourself that it is okay and take deep breathes. Also, don't be afraid to cry. Especially if you've been holding everything in for so long, this can be a sign that it's time to let it go!
