I usually have to walk around, put on a favorite TV show, keep a Xanax handy ( I personally hate to use benzos) or just simply deal with it ... I get them a lot and I get incredibly scared. I find having a cold water bottle on hand helps. I wish I had more tips but I'm still getting a handle on them

Thank you so much i really appreciate it!

I find that walking around helps me too. Sometimes i just pace back and forth. Cleaning also helps me. Breathing slowly and deep I try to do. I keep reminding myself I am fine. And this is just a panic attack. If all else fails or it gets too bad I take klonopin. its really tough. Sometimes my panic can be hours at a time.

I'm not sure that anyone is actually interested but I have a little update for you all. I've been real sick the last week so I finally went to the doctor today and I've got three different infections - chest, throat and sinus. I also told him about the panic attacks and he prescribed me Diazepam to help, just so that they relax me and my sleep would be better at night. I told my parents and they won't let me take them. I'm beyond furious. I'm in a lot of pain with these panic attacks and my lung are weak enough as it is with the infection (I love me a spot of bronchitis) and something to stop it would be great. I don't understand how they can let me sit here in pain, how they'd gladly watch it when someone has literally handed me a resolution. I really don't know what to do anymore. Thank you again to the people who gave me some advice, it's been really really helpful <3

Greetings,
Have you thought about what is causing the attacks? What is your coffee, tea, soda intake like? Are you under stress? Perhaps once you find the triggers of the attacks, you will be able to determine what is causing them. Meds are ok but cognitive behavioral therapy , psychology, etc.. will help you to deal with the feelings of anxiety. Hope that this helps..

We need support groups who suffer with panic attacks. Its soooo scary and exhausted

Im.new at panic attacks. What is best to do if hits middle of night

I have struggled for years. U have to practice relaxation breathing. And keep reminding yourself this is all in your mind. Occupy yourself w anything. Music tv cleaning. Drink lots of water. And if all else fails I turn to Xanax or klonopin. Sometimes the panjc is just too much for me to handle. I am on Prozac and it has almost completely gotten rid of the panic. Occasionally when there is alot of stress they come around but nothing like before anti depressants. Good luck and message me if u wana talk
