What is a safe way to stop a panic attack? Is there any way to stop them, or do you just have to ride them out?

First, you must acknowledge that a panic attack is happening. Is your heart beating rapidly? Are you sweaty, nauseous, is your mouth dry, or your knees weak? Once you have done this, go to a private area if you are not already in one and count to 10. Breathe evenly, and slowly. Tell yourself that you are safe and everything is okay. If this doesn't work, tell someone(preferably a parent or trusted adult)that you are panicking. You must be brave, I believe in you!

To stop a panic attack try and remove yourself from the current environment . When removing yourself find an area to sit. When you are sitting down breath slowly , make sure to take deep breaths and following with a simple exhale and inhale method. Make sure that you have somebody else around you and ask that they get you some form of drink. If you need to cry , let yourself cry it is good to cry at points as it helps you relieve your emotions.

Breathe, and ride them out, think of a happy place, always know it will be over soon. It is scary but it will soon be over.

Breathing is a great way to ease the distress of a panic attack. Slowing down your breath and even counting your inhales and exhales both distracts your mind and calms your nervous system. Exhaling for more counts than inhaling naturally slows down your heart rate (i.e. inhaling to the count of 4 and exhaling the count of 6).

Panic attacks can be calmed by talking someone through along with breathing control using a paper bag if possible. Learning to breathe deeply too from the diaphragm.

First stop and take yourself away from the situation, notice your heart beat going faster as well as the rhythm of your breath, then sit down and focus on your breath making big deep breaths in and out, and stay focused until you can bring your breath to a regular pace, watch your heart slow down, and feel your self coming into the moment. Panic attacks are extremely scary, and it is important to notice it coming before it comes if you do you can easily bring yourself back and relax, practicing mindfulness and meditation can bring you back and help you stop the panic attacks.
