Anything you associate with peace, calm, love and so on. Perhaps a happy memory, anything that makes you feel safe and loved.

There are panic apps that can help you make breathing exercises or you can try to remember to focus on a square and then follow the lines: first line = breathe in, second line = breathe out, third line = breathe in, last/fourth line = breathe out. And continue doing that for a short period of time. If that doesn't help, try to reach out to someone who can help you.

Remember to breathe! Remember that you have gotten through panic attacks before-- this one will be but another panic attack that you have beaten. Remind yourself that everything is going to be okay.

4-7-8. Breathe in for a count of 4, hold for 7, and breathe out for 8. It's hard for your body to keep panicking during this routine, and once you calm down a little, it's easier to deal with whatever's causing the issue

The biggest thing to remember is to breathe. Breathe deeply and your heart rate will slow, alleviating your physical symptoms. Another important thing to remember is that it is a temporary feeling that will pass.

The thing that usually gets me through a panick attack is remembering that although it feels scary it won't last for ever.

I like to ground myself by naming five objects I can see, four I can touch, three I can hear, two I can smell and one I can taste in the room I am in. this shifts my focus from the panic and back into what is around me

In my OCD treatment, my therapist have taught me a lot about panic and anxiety. Try to remember that it'll get better, even though it feels terrible. You'll get to a point where it won't get worse and from then on it can only get better. Also, try to remember the difference between what you feel and what you think: Tell yourself that there's nothing to be afraid of because you can gain control of your thoughts even though your feelings might not be as easily tamed.
