Letting it happen, distractions, having someone comfort you...all help. Reminding yourself that you've gotten through them many times and you can get through them again.

You should seek professional help first and once you know for sure what you need, you can explain it to a close friend or family member so they can help you if you experience one.

Therapists can help you learn techniques to get through panic attacks and even get to a point where you dont have them, In my personal experience getting though a panic attack the person that helps most is yourself, doing some deep breathing, Breathing in through the nose for three secoinds, holding it for two and slowly breath out through the mouth and reapeat, Also turning on the water and focus on it, think about what you are looking at how its flowing the sound it makes, sometimes that tends to help calm down, smells and feeling something and focusing on how it smells or how it feels often distracts the mind and makes the panic go away, I also know that listening to music or just focusing on some sound, basically try to use your senses touch, sight, smell, sound to distract yourself. I hope this helps :)

Yourself, mostly. But anyone around you who understands you're having these problems and cares about you enough to help. You are the best at taking care of you.

Listeners, friends, or therapists are great ways to get help during a panic attack, as they are usually very understanding.

I have found that the thing needed most to work through panic attacks are your friends or people you feel comfortable with and are close to. Those are the people who know you best, and can help you calm down. If you ever feel like you are going to have a panic attack, then talk to someone, or just being with someone who cares about you can help. Make sure you take deep breaths, it will help calm you down!

Find someone you're close to and spend a lot of time with and explain to them how your panic attacks work and what helps to calm you down. This is so that if they're with you when one happens they can help you work through it.

The referral to a counsellor or therapist can enable you to identify the things which trigger your panic attack, which will then allow you to work on making them better.

I always message my mom or dad, but if they aren't available, I ask my friends who have experienced panic attacks before. They know how they like to be treated and they know how to help others experiencing the same thing!

Your family, friends, co workers, talk to them about it! Tell them about it and let them support you! Having people around you is very very very helpful! I'm sure they would love to help as well. Reach out to the people around you and let them help. You're never alone. You could also reach out to listeners on 7 cups for help. We can talk you through them and support you. You’re always welcome and loved here. You can also, reach out for professional help if you need it.
