What is the best way to recover after a panic attack?

i think this can vary from person to person and also based on the intensity of the panic attack. so firstly, i try to remove myself from the environment/situation that is triggering me. secondly, once i'm a little calmer, i'd like to just do something that distracts me; like reading a book or dancing, listening to music, etc. i ensure i do a little extra self care the next couple of days and stay with my own thoughts. it just helps me look at the panic attack in a calmer, better way and i reflect on what i could do to avoid being so overwhelmed the next time.

I like to go on walks, take a nice hot shower, go on a drive or jam out to some of my favorite music. I also love being with my animals. I am a very adventurous person so I also like going on adventures, whether that be hikes, climbing trees, road trips, or just getting out of the house. Driving is another thing I love. I love driving high in the mountain and overlooking the city night. Cities are my favorite at night. Reading is also always fun for me.

The best way to recover, is to first and foremost, get some fresh air. Go outside, go for a walk. Take some time to yourself to loosen up your muscles, have time alone to think and breathe and settle down. If you're not ready to emotionally or mentally address what happened right away, that's okay! There's time for that. Maybe watch some funny videos, read your favorite book. Taking a good nap is also helpful, staying hydrated too. Taking extra steps to be extra gentle and careful with yourself is the best way to recover. Best of luck!
