Panic attacks are scary, and having them in public can be even scarier. But if you sit down on a bench, a chair, even against a wall and just breath and allow yourself to calm down, you'll feel so much better and I promise you, no one will think anything of it. It can feel like everyone is staring, but that's just social anxiety and it's in your head. Work through your panic attack and even if it's in public, you'll survive and trust me, you'll be ok.

Do not be ashamed of it. Try to concentrate on your breathing to calm a bit. There is no reason for you to be ashamed. Anxiety is normal. It is actually really strong to be open about it.

Please try not to be embarrased, it may be scary and humiliating for yourself at the time but remember not everyone is judging you, breath and focus on yourself and your mind. You have no reason to be embarrassed.
