What can be done to limit the amount of panic attacks one has?

I suffer from panic attacks myself and made the experience that surviving them helps you to gain confident. That sounds unbearable and it might be a long way, but the more you bring yourself in situations you consider uncomfortable, the more you are going to gain your self-confidence back. If it seems to be too hard for you at the moment, try to surround yourself with people you love and bring yourself into situations that trigger your panic. Don't let panic attacks ruin your life, friends.

Find things that calm you down and do those things when you begin to feel a panic attack coming on.

Do you mean reduce the amount of panic attacks? and or the duration? For me I know more than anything, awareness and understanding about panic attacks in general has helped a lot. With the addition of saying "I'm having a panic attack right now" When having one, if you can be that self-aware. I struggle with being self-aware personally D: For me my best way of fighting my panic disorder is to work and heal my inner trauma and fears. Healing the core and roots will reduce and someday eliminate the attacks.

When you get a negative thought that could lead to a panic attack, you can revert your thoughts to something more positive. If you're in a situation that could cause a panic attack, you can try to distract yourself with relaxing imagery (example: daydreaming about a relaxing vacation.). You can also distract yourself using hobbies and interests that you enjoy. For an example, reading a book or watching tv may help decrease panic attacks for some people. You can also try deep breathing exercises and positive self-talk exercises. If you can not cope with your panic attacks, anti-anxiety medication may help. In either case, seeing a professional is probably a good idea.

If you feel you are about to experience a panic attack, I've found that controlling your breathing helps, also, clenching your fists for a few seconds then releasing, it's almost like it releases your fists aswell as your anxiety.

take deep breaths and focus on things that make you happy. try to not put yourself in situations that make you nervous or upset.

Recognize what triggers your panic attacks, and then attempt to limit your interaction with those triggers.

Here is what has helped me limit the number of panic attacks I have: weekly therapy, medication to reduce my anxiety/depression symptoms, identifying support resources (people I can talk to, behaviors that help reduce panic, specific "safe" places), increasing my awareness of typical triggers for my panic attacks. With these different things, I now am much more likely to have periods of heightened anxiety vs. full-blown panic attacks. I'm more able to function in daily life. I hope this helps someone else in their own struggle with panic attacks.

Very deep breathing. In for 8 seconds, hold for 4, breath out for 8 and then repeat until you feel calm. Try grounding yourself, feeling things with nice textures, going for a walk, splashing your face with cold water.

The best thing that works for me is trying to identify what is causing the attack, and avoiding that certain thing.
