I personally have the best success avoiding panic by recognizing my triggers, knowing what sets me off is a great help to avoiding, handling or marginalizing the effects of being triggered. In my case being cornered can trigger me, as a result I tend to stay in more open spaces and break off discussions that get too heated.

Recognize the onset of symptoms early and before the attack begins. Then begin to breath slowly and deeply. Also, immediately take a brisk walk or do some other type of movement or exercise if possible.

SSRIs, while they do have their side effects, can be effective for some people in alleviating panic attacks altogether. For example, while I still worry from time to time, it never barrels out of control as long I'm taking SSRIs.

Deep breathing is my saving grace when it comes to the realization that I'm having a panic attack. Realizing what is happening and why it may be happening are key to controlling your emotions and breathing in a time when they seem out of control.

I found that daily meditation and practicing deep breathing has really helped reduce the amount of panic attacks I have. This is because I'm in a better state of mind throughout the day and find myself to be less anxious; the less anxious I am, the less panic attacks I experience :)

I'm sorry to hear that you're having panic attacks. I suffered with panic attacks for some time when I was younger. I can promise that it gets better, you will find a way to overcome them that works for you. The 7 Cups of Tea guide to anxiety is incredibly helpful https://www.7cups.com/panic-attacks-help-online/. Try that out and then if you still feel like to need some more support try talking to a listener. Stay strong, things will get better

I'll say what does work for me:
- Avoiding situations that we suspect may trigger the panic attacks,
- Meditation, and self-awareness,
- Learning not to be scared by all the symptoms that come with the attack, as they can be really scary,
- Learning to manage it on our own, and learning the breathing techniques that can really help calm one down,
- Finding support, as support can be what we most need during or after the attack.

Find someone that makes you feel safe. Wear something comfortable and try to avoid what stresses you. If it´s really bad you want to consider getting an ESA(emotional support animal)
