What do I do when I have panic attacks at work?

If you have someone you can trust, let them know that you're having one. It's so much easier when there's someone around to help you out. Try breathing exercises, and take the rest of the day easy

There are various things you could do, but it's mostly about what you feel would be most helpful. You could try deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, distractions, daydreaming about relaxing imagery, etc. If you fear that your coworkers might notice you having a panic attack then you could go into a bathroom stall and stay there until the panic attack goes away. If the panic attacks are very severe to the point that nothing helps then there's also professional therapy or medication.

If you are someone who suffers from panic attacks at work it is a very good idea to notify your boss that this happens, this goes for students at school too. If the right people are aware of this, then you can leave the situation and go to the bathroom or somewhere you find safe to calm down. In terms of just calming down itself, it all comes down to acceptance . Be aware that you can't control the rush of adrenaline, accept it is there, try and come to terms with the fact that the feeling itself cannot cause you physical pain.

Just sit somewhere peaceful and try to relax. Remember - Ignoring your panic attack never helps. If relaxing doesn't help then try to someone you trust.

Take some time out to breathe - take a step back from work for a few minutes and pace yourself. Drink some water, sit down and just breathe. :)

If you had a panic attack at work, you can excuse yourself from the work your doing and seeking a quiet place to help calm you down, going to get some water as well as walk around a little.

You can play on of your favorite songs in your head. This makes you focus on the song instead of the panic attack. You could also try focusing on your breathing. You could use the 4-7-4 method. Breathe in for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds and breathe out for eight seconds. You do this until you feel that you are through your panic attack. I know that during these we do not think about what to do and it can be scary. Just remember that we are here for you if you ever need to talk. I hoped this has helped.
